The queen of the court has fulfilled the announcement she released earlier in August. Serena Williams played her last tennis match in the U.S. Open.
Williams won her matches in the first and second rounds of the U.S. Open against Danka Kovini and Anett Kontaveit, but she lost in the third when she kept allowing early leads to Ajla Tomljanovi.
The crowd cheered as Williams waved while leaving the court for the last time. Even though fans knew it was coming, they were still saddened by the departure of such a great athlete.
Vogue released an article in their magazine where Serena announced that she is “evolving away from tennis” and explained the new life she wants to lead.
