Serena Williams has provided a health update after having a brachial cyst removed from her neck.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion would normally be participating in commercial shoots or being active on social media.
However recently Williams has been spending time recovering after having a brachial cyst removed from her neck.
The American broke her silence on social media and revealed she found out in May before the cyst got bigger and gave her no choice but to have it removed, “Back in May I found a lump showing on my neck,” Williams stated on Tik Tok.
“I immediately went to the doc got a mri and was told I have a brachial cyst. Have you ever heard of that? They said I don’t need to get it removed if I don’t want. So I did not get it but it kept growing. I decided to get more test and 3 test and one biopsy later everything is still negative but doctors advised I get it removed asap because it was the size of a small grapefruit and it could get infected or worse leak.
“So this is me removing it. I am feelimg so grateful, and fortunate everything worked out, and most of all I’m healthy. I still made it to American doll with Olympia as promised. And yes all is ok.”
Williams will be hoping for a speedy recovery as she looks to be more active in the world in 2025 as she has missed an awful lot since her absence from Rafael Nadal’s retirement to other things.
The last tennis match of Williams’ career was at the US Open in 2022 when she lost to Ajla Tomljanovic in three sets.
