Serena Williams’ goodbye to tennis in singles could be today, as the six-time champion will face World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit in the second round of the 2022 US Open.

After announcing her retirement from tennis in a Vogue essay early this month, Williams returned to competition for her farewell tour. She lost against Belinda Bencic in the second round in Canada and to Emma Raducanu in the first round of Cincinnati. However, in New York, the 23-time Grand Slam champion fought hard to defeat Danka Kovinic at the Arthur Ashe Stadium and maintained her 21-0 record in the first round of this tournament intact.

However, this time she will face one of the top players of the past few years, Anett Kontaveit. The 26-year-old, who also lost in the early stages in Canada and Cincinnati, won her sixth WTA title in St. Petersburg in February. In the US Open, her best result is reaching the fourth round. She is coming to this match after a 6-3, 6-0 win over Jaqueline Cristian.
