Serena Williams has given tennis some of the best moments and legendary records. She is one of those players who represents the sport outside its fanbase. Williams has motivated many in her run and will keep on doing so, but from now on, not from the court.

The 23 times Grand Slam champion has decided to mark the end of her marvelous career. She will hang her racket after the last Grand Slam of this season. Her retirement will for sure create an unmendable void. Therefore, from fans and family to veterans, everyone wants to be a part of the champion’s last tournament. Speaking about the fest of an event, it acted as the meeting spot for two of the strongest women ever.

Williams on 30th August played her opening match in the Arthur Ashe stadium and in the pool of her supporters, Billie Jean King, met Oracene Price. The founder of WTA and 12 times Grand Slam champion was overwhelmed with joy to see the woman who gave tennis two if it’s best players. That is Serena and Venus. Therefore, she took on Twitter to share her happiness and wrote, “The extraordinary mother of the great Serena Williams.”

Speaking of Williams’ performance in the opening round. She thrashed the 27-year-old Danka Kovinić in their very first meeting. She outclassed the Montenegrin tennis professional in straight sets of 6-3 6-3 to advance in the tournament. Now she will meet Anett Kontaveit for a seat in the last 32 of the tournament.

Serena Williams’ next opponent

The next step of six times the US Open champion’s journey to achieving Margaret Court’s all time record is defeating the Anett Kontaveit. Kontaveit, who got the better of Jaqueline Cristian in the first round, will also eye a good run in order to mask her Canadian and Cincinnati Masters subpar performance.

Therefore, even though this will be their first meeting, one can predict the intensity of the match by the high stakes. Williams will meet the Estonian tennis professional and former world no.2 on 31st August in the hard courts of America.
