Despite Thrashing Defeat, Zendaya’s Presence Made Serena Williams’ US Open Opponent Drop a Grateful Message: ‘Life Is Crazy’

To say that the US Open women’s finals were eventful would be an understatement. The world witnessed Serena Williams extend her career on Wednesday night by outlasting world No. 2 Anett Kontaveit in the U.S. Open. She defeated Kontaveit on Wednesday night in a nail-biting three-set match with a score of 7-6, 2-6, 6-2.

Kontaveit’s nightmare turning into reality

For many sports fans, Williams’ victory was a memorable moment, but Kontaveit’s experience must have been extremely different. She experienced a sizable portion of the crowd supporting Serena Williams. Tiger Woods, Zendaya, and other superstars witnessed Williams’ final tournament, something Kontaveit wasn’t anticipating.

Kontaveit took to Instagram to describe how insane the entire night was after the defeat.

“One day ur in Soho drinking boba with ur mum the next day or playing tennis against Serena in front of Zendaya. Life is crazy,” she wrote.

To date, Anett Kontaveit has never won a championship. In spite of all these factors, she will still have many opportunities to compete for a major title in the future, given her rise to No. 2 in the world rankings.
