The U.S. Open 2022

Serena Williams is an American tennis player who was born in Saginaw, Michigan, on September 26, 1981. She revolutionized women's tennis with her aggressive style of play and amassed more Grand Slam singles titles than any other player during the open era, male or female. Williams revealed earlier this month that her 27-year career, during which she has transcended tennis, would likely finish with the US Open. To advance in the US Open, Serena Williams defeated Danka Kovinic in straight sets. The 40-year-old American has been evasive about when she will officially end her 27-year tennis career. "I'm still here for the time being, just enjoying it", she said. Learn more about Serena Williams and the reasons she delayed retiring.
