Serena Williams’ final US Open run is receiving widespread attention. Williams received some high-profile praise on Wednesday after defeating second-ranked Anett Kontaveit at Arthur Ashe Stadium to move on to the third round. 

The 23-time Grand Slam champion, who returned to the tour earlier this year, is now preparing for the next stage of her life. Tennis legend Serena Williams is getting ready to retire after a dazzling 27-year professional career in which she has established herself as one of the greatest players of all time. And she will say goodbye to the sport at the major where it all began, the 2022 US Open.

We celebrate all that you have been, all that you are, and all that is to come.” 

At Williams’ last match, she received a lot of support from individuals present in the stadium as well. Including the likes of Tiger Woods, Spike Lee, Zendaya, Anna Wintour, and others who came to watch one of the GOATs of women’s tennis.

Williams’ arguably biggest accomplishment is that she is working tirelessly to ensure that the world values and respects female athleticism just as much as it does male athleticism. She has carved a way in which strong women are not ashamed of who they are. And in which a woman is not required to meet social norms in order to be regarded as a woman. 

Serena beats world number two Anett Kontaveit

In order to advance to the third round of the US Open 2022, tennis legend Serena Williams defeated Estonia’s Anett Kontaveit, ranked world number two, in three sets. Williams triumphed 7-6, 2-6, 6-2. At a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium, the enthusiastic fans once more encouraged the 40-year-old Williams. 

Nevertheless, Williams displayed a champion’s attitude to regain the upper hand in the decider, breaking Kontaveit twice before securing victory. Williams will return to Arthur Ashe Stadium on Thursday to compete in the women’s doubles, where she will play alongside her elder sister Venus Williams for the first time since 2018.
