Serena Williams defeated World No.2 Anett Kontaveit 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-2 in front of another loud, roaring record crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium on Wednesday night. She moved better and played freer than in recent matches as she faced one of the final singles match of her illustrious career. It was a second-round match at the US Open. Serena Williams was questioned after getting to the second round of the US Open if her opening victory had answered any concerns she had about her ability to compete at the age of nearly 41.
“I’m just pleased I showed up because the last few tournaments I didn’t show up,” Williams said after the match. “But I’ve been practicing really well and I’m pleased that I’m finally seeing my practice come into my matches, so that’s nice.” The American legend will face Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of her home Grand Slam.
Serena Williams and Ajla Tomljanovic are scheduled to face one another in the second round match of the US Open 2022 on Friday, September 2. The 2022 US Open is all set to begin from August 29 till September 11.
