Serena Williams has lost her US Open singles match to Australia’s Ajla Tomljanović.

The defeat likely means the end of her storied career. After winning 73 career singles titles and 39 Grand Slams, Williams said earlier this year she will “evolve away from tennis” after this tournament.

5-7, 7-6, 1-6

6. I am not particularly a Serena fan but I was really hoping to see her go out the way she came in:

winning the U.S. Open and at least tying the slam (singles) record. Maybe she will surprise everyone and compete in Australia 2023. Much respect for the GOAT.
