As Serena Williams sets her sights on this week's U.S. Open, Gatorade is reliving her dominant career in pixelated form.

The Pepsi-owned sports drink is running an ad within ESPN's Snapchat "Discover" channel that lets users play a simple video game as the tennis superstar.

The 8-bit game features 22 levels -- one for each of Williams' Grand Slam wins. Should she rack up another title next month, Gatorade will unlock a bonus match.

To play, simply tap one of three tennis balls on the screen, then touch the left or right side of the screen to swat back your opponent's attempts.

While the first few levels are somewhat of a breeze, the game does gets more challenging -- and more addicting -- as it goes.

Gatorade claims the ad is the first multi-level game to ever appear on the platform.
