After dominating women’s tennis for more than 20 years, Serena Williams is retiring from the sport. She did, however, encounter her fair share of obstacles on the road to success in tennis. Giving her a good send-off after hearing out about her retirement announcement is what the organizers of the US Open are doing.

Serena Williams shocked the tennis world when she announced she was “evolving away from tennis” and will depart after the US Open. Moreover, the year’s final grand slam will also be the last opportunity for fans to witness the American iconic duo in a major tennis tournament.

Serena Williams has clinched six US Open titles

Serena Williams made her singles debut at the U.S. Open in 1998. Since then, she has gradually established herself as the U.S. Open’s dominant player over the course of a quarter-century, winning six singles titles, making it to four further singles finals, winning two doubles championships with Venus, and taking home a mixed doubles crown.

Williams and Evert are the only two women to have won more than 100 US Open games. Without dropping a set, Serena has three times won the US Open (2002, 2008, and 2014). Victoria Azarenka of Belarus defeated Serena in the 2020 US Open semifinals. Will Serena win her last gram slam this year?
