Open tennis tournament reaches its climax, with the women’s and men’s finals. Yet for many fans, this year’s highlight has already come and gone. That was Serena Williams’s last match at Flushing Meadows, and possibly the last of her career: a valiant third-round defeat to Ajla Tomljanovic on September 2nd. It drew a peak of almost 7m viewers onMs Williams has not yet confirmed that she is hanging up her racket, but said in August that she would be “evolving” away from the sport.
Behind the grand-slam count lie three remarkable factors. One is Ms Williams’s durability. In women’s tennis, in particular, teenage prodigies are common, but often fade fast. In that firstOpen final, the 17-year-old Serena beat Martina Hingis, who won her first grand slam at 16 and her fifth and last at only 18. Steffi Graf, whose record is closest to Ms Williams’s in the modern era, carried off 22 slams in the space of 12 years.
The third factor has been Ms Williams’s combination of athleticism, strength and skill. Her serve was vicious—topping out at 208kph, the eighth-fastest ever sent down by a woman—but so were her returns. Her backhand was perhaps the best the women’s game has seen, hit in an open stance with scant regard for conventional technique. Neither did she pay much heed to tennis’s other conventions.

Serena Exited the tournament in the third round. From the fourth round on no one was thinking about Serena, not sure why you think she stole the show. If anyone stole the show it was the high level tennis that was on display from the rest of the players that remained in the draw!
No MAN has kept up with Serena.
Just go away, nobody likes an ungrateful no class prima donna.
Lol, 203rd ranked Karsten Braasch should of shown up. Bless their hearts.
They now get paid the same, let them play the same. Best of 5 at the Slams for all.
In other words, she has had GARBAGE competition her whole career. NOT impressed.
She had challengers and challenges…she just wanted it more than the other ladies. She competed harder!
She's twice the size of any other player. Can she please just f off and retire already? I was sick of her 15 years ago...
Not quite, Graf had a much better record and Seles pre stabbing!
Margaret Court more than kept up with her generation.
For this I stand my belief that SerenaWilliams is the GOAT
Man vs women
She was just dominant. Name any other Grand Slam winner in her era and Serena would have beaten her several times. How many times did she beat Sharapova, Clijsters, and Halep?
Finally
It’s been 16 days 😭😭😭😭 come back 🥲
Because she has the force of a man xD

Anybody who has followed the game knows her success is a result of one thing, Pure unadulterated power. She never developed a net game. She looked like a cow on ice at the net. Novak, Roger, Rafa and now at 19, Carlos all have the whole game.
So, if no woman has managed to keep up with serenawilliams, she should've won more Grand Slams.
Mmmmmp. M. Mn10llpbn1n0nño9009nqqn¹000000
Prob because she is really a man!😂
Probably some ripped dude with long hair, makeup and funny pronouns.
It is an amazing story, but for me Alcaraz v Sinner was as big of a story.. carlosalcaraz janniksin
Holy cow, this is some next level history revision. Serena can thank the pioneers like Arthur Ashe, who we watched on TV in … checks notes… the 70s.
The only thing tennis is trying to ignore is that Margaret Court exists, let that fact wash over you.
Ashe, Chang, Noah, Navratilova (gay), what a poorly thought out article.
BS. Tennis has always been an international sport and I, for one, am glad to see William's stranglehold on women's tennis over.
... and now it is played by posh country-club African Americans?
Arthur Ashe?
The Econoracist is deliberately ignoring the fact that the US Open is played at a stadium named after a black man. Because liberals can't help being racist.
The US Open is played at the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
wannabes
“Posh, country club types.” So … Serena Williams is what, exactly? You guys know she turned pro at 14 and has been a millionaire for decades, right?
Our media is seemingly run by 25 year-olds who think they know everything and yet still manage to discover 'new' novelties everyday to inform us of.
Arthur Ash would like a word with you.
Serena, sure. Arthur Ashe, probably more so.
Partly
Cc:Arthur Ashe
Like the Rockin' Moroccan in the men's game
