American tennis superstar Serena Williams has ended her career. The 40-year-old was playing in the US Open and made it to the third round of the tournament. However, she could not go past the Australian tennis star Ajla Tomljanović. While Serena played her third-round match, the Arthur Ashe stadium was on its feet, and unsurprisingly, Serena’s husband Alexis Ohanian was also there.
