Remember Ajla Tomljanovic, the Australian tennis player who defeated Serena Williams at the 2022 US Open? Now, after almost a year, the 29-year-old tennis player has finally talked about the experience during the epic match. The 23-time Grand Slam champion announced last year that the US Open 2022 would be her farewell Grand Slam tournament. And after reaching the third round of the tournament, she faced an unexpected defeat and had to end her more than two-decade-long career with defeat. However, whatever emotion the match might have carried, it was one of the most memorable matches in the history of tennis. 

Ajla Tomljanovic’s take on ending Serena Williams’ glorious tennis career 

Recently, the 29-year-old tennis star took to her Instagram account to share an advertisement video featuring her. In it, she spilled the beans about her favorite moment on the tennis court. And it was none other than the time she embedded her name in the sport’s history by defeating the 23-time Grand Slam champion.

She said, “My most memorable match has to be the one I played against Serena. It’s just an atmosphere, an occasion that I’ll probably never experience again. Yeah, I will always remember that.” 

Previously, she also stated what retirement means to her. She highlighted, “No matter who retires, tennis goes on. And that’s almost the cruelest part of the sport: the train doesn’t stop for anyone.” The Australian tennis player further explained that every other tennis player has his/her own journey in the sport. But looking at the broader picture, the game or the matches still go on.
