Serena Williams defeated Montenegrin Danka Kovinic in the first round of her farewell tour at Flushing Meadows, 6-3, 6-3. The No. 2 seed from Estonia, Anett Kontaveit, will be her opponent in the second round.
This victory occurred shortly after she declared that she would stop playing tennis after the U.S. Open in order to concentrate on having another child and on her business interests.
As a result, one of the most prosperous and significant careers in sports history won’t come to a conclusion until the second round of the U.S. Open, if not later.
