The legendary tennis player Serena Williams put an end to her tennis career this Friday night when she was defeated by the Australian Ajla Tomljanovic and thus marked the end of an impressive career of 23 Grand Slam titles.
Williams’s previous statements made it clear that this could be her last performance as a professional and although she did not give up trying to win a marathon match, she could not become the oldest tennis player to advance to the second week of the US Open.
The public flocked to the USTA Billie Jean King in favor of Serena Williams despite the high cost of tickets, which ranged from $535 and more than $11,600 dollars and each point he earned ignited an atmosphere rarely seen in Flushing.
After some first points in which parity reigned between Both rackets had to appear Williams to break serve and put the 4-3 on the board. However, Tomljanovic’s reaction and response was immediate to break the break twice and take the first set 7-5.
The impressive thing was that for the second set Serena Williams stepped on the accelerator and made it couple of breaks to put the partial 4-0 in favor of the American who kept going up and up her level.
And many points she got thanks to her aggressive game with raises towards the net and multiple aces that she got with her strong serve.
That is why the public continued to support the tennis player with shouts and messages; even some of her were encouraged to describe her as the Greatest Of All Time (GOAT).
Not even a seemingly miraculous recovery for Tomljanovic who went 5-5 with a triple break point was able to stop Serena Williams, who got her first game 7-5 after an hour with a 7-4 tie break.
The game victory made US tennis legend Billie Jean King jump out of their seats as well as NFL player Russell Wilson and his wife Ciara de he.
However, fatigue began to take its toll and this was essential for the final result because after almost three hours of action the Australian Tomljanovic ended up winning the match 6-1 after five match points.
Tears were present as soon as the post-match interview began, although he assured that “they were tears of happiness.” In the speech she thanked her family, her sister Venus Williams and her fans for their support throughout her career.
