Analysis: Can Serena Williams keep going at the US Open?
NEW YORK — Serena Williams now can say she has won a U.S. Open match in her teens, her 20s, her 30s and — with her daughter on hand — her 40s. That’s a tough feeling to have, and to leave knowing the more you do it, the more you can shine.” That’s somewhat of a scary prospect for Kontaveit and, if Williams wins again, any future opponents in a section of the draw that doesn’t include anyone with serious U.S. Open bona fides other than 2021 runner-up Leylah Fernandez, who could be on the other side of the net in the fourth round. She’s always giving 100 percent.” Williams, who was 1-3 this season before Monday, was asked what questions her performance answered for her as she looks ahead in the tournament. “She’s had some time to process it, and she’s doing it the way she wants to,” Venus said after losing her first-round singles match Tuesday. “But I just feel like we’ve come too far together to just not have anything to do with it.” After Monday’s match, the U.S. Tennis Association held an on-court ceremony to honor Williams, with her husband; mother; sister, Isha; and daughter, Olympia, who turns 5 this week, coming down from their seats in the stands to join her.
