On the other hand, the main draw is not out yet, so people don’t know whether Serena will play on the first day or the second day. Most of them assumed Serena will be playing on the opening day and win her match as well. That’s probably the reason for an increase in third-day ticket sales as well.

Recently, Serene lost in the round of 32 match at the Canadian Open and said goodbye to the crowd after an emotional post-match speech. She will play at the Cincinnati Masters next before playing at Flushing Meadows for the last time.
