Montenegro's Danka Kovinic will find herself in an unfamiliar place in the tennis spotlight on the sport's biggest stage on Monday playing the part of potential party pooper at Serena Williams's U.S. Open retirement bash.
Her name would forever be linked to the 23-times Grand Slam winner widely considered the greatest woman to swing a racket. Williams, 40, signalled her intention to retire in a Vogue article in early August, saying she was"evolving away from tennis" but never confirming the U.S. Open as her final event.
