Facing Serena not easy for Open opponents who look up to her

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — The next woman who must deal with the daunting task of playing Serena Williams at the U.S. Open, Ajla Tomljanovic, considers herself an admirer of the 23-time Grand Slam champion. “I’ve been a Serena fan,” Tomljanovic said, “since I was a kid.” Tomljanovic, an Australian who is 29, will face Williams, who turns 41 next month, for the first time on Friday night — in front of what is sure to be another exuberant and partisan full house — in the third round at Arthur Ashe Stadium. “I always get happy when she says ‘Hi’ to me.” Tomljanovic recalled watching on TV as Williams won major trophies. “It can work in your favor if you thrive on playing the best player ever and you know it’ll help your career if you win,” King said in a telephone interview Thursday.
