Watch: Serena Williams does the drop challenge during Audemars Piguet photoshoot

Serena Williams recently completed the drop challenge in a photoshoot for Swiss watch company Audemars Piguet.

The 40-year-old posted a video montage on Instagram in which she is seen doing the drop challenge along with the staff of Audemars Piguet.

“I had to do it. I even Got the entire Audemars Piguet team to do it. This is worldwide dropping baby!”

In the drop challenge people are seen performing their daily activities to the tune of Beyonce's song 'Yonce' before suddenly squatting while looking at the camera. It has become a worldwide trend over the past month or so with kids and adults taking part in the challenge.

Serena Williams has been very active off the court

Serena Williams is yet to make a return to action

Serena Williams has been quite active off the court during her time away from tennis.

The American will be honored as a fashion icon at the FIT Gala and recently attended Paris Fashion Week. Her investment firm Serena Ventures recently raised $111 million to power early-stage startups.

Her 2021 season was a mix of strong results and injuries. She started the season by reaching the semifinals of the Yarra Valley Classic before withdrawing due to a shoulder injury. The American then reached the semifinals of the Australian Open before losing to eventual champion Naomi Osaka.

Williams then participated at the French Open and reached the last 16 before losing to Elena Rybakina. She faced Aliaksandra Sasnovich in the opening round of Wimbledon but was forced to retire after slipping and suffering a leg injury. It was Williams' last bit of action on a tennis court and she is yet to return.

At 40, the 23-time Grand Slam champion is well into the twilight of her career and has said that she is prepared for the day when she will call it quits.

"I am prepared for [the day of my retirement]. I've been prepared for that day for over a decade. If you've seen King Richard, you know that my dad always said, "You've got to prepare!" So, I've been prepared for that," Williams said. "You know, at the end of the day, I think it's really important to always have a plan and that's kind of what I did. I always had a plan."

Due to her prolonged inactivity on tour, Williams' ranking has gone down to 237th in the world and she is yet to provide an update on her return to action. A majority of tennis fans will want to see the 40-year-old back on court and it will be interesting to see when that happens.
