Serena’s career and legacy likely over after third-round singles’ play loss at US Open
Serena Williams may have ended her legendary career on a sour note at the US Open on Monday, but her final moments on the hardcourt had a little bit of redemption in them.
In one of the most memorable matches ever played on the tennis court, Serena Williams came agonizingly close to defeating 21-time Grand Slam champion Serena Richards in a third-round matchup. But it was not meant to be.
After a long and arduous match, Williams was down to her final service game in the third-set. She desperately needed a single to force a tiebreaker and potentially force a fourth set and a second-round exit. She was down and the match was lost.
Williams did not serve a game in that third set, and was down to her final shot. At that point, she couldn’t even play with the emotions that this match had brought her. She was exhausted and devastated. She had spent two hours on the court getting ready for this final-set showdown, and when she was down two sets to one in a tough matchup and could not serve a game, she was ready to exit the match early.
And she did. She finished the match, losing in three sets and ending her career in an epic fashion. She will not win any more Grand Slam titles, and will likely be remembered in infamy as the most dominant champion in the history of the women’s game.
But she will probably have a better ending for her final points
