Serena Williams has been labelled the “greatest of all time” by Eurosport’s John McEnroe, after she knocked out Anett Kontaveit in a convincing second round clash at the US Open. The 40-year-old beat the tournament’s second seed 7-6(4) 2-6 6-2 in front of an elated crowd to set up a third round tie against Ajla Tomljanovic, as she searches for her seventh Grand Slam title on US shores. Ad McEnroe questioned whether there has ever been a better athlete than the “GOAT of all GOAT’s” Williams, as he heaped praise on the 23-time Grand Slam champions’ performance.

The incident came after the Spaniard roared back from a set down to beat Australia’s Rinky Hijikata in the first round of the US Open, eventually sealing a 4-6 6-2 6-3 6-3 win to progress to round two where he will face Fabio Fognini. Ad A delighted Nadal said in his on-court interview that he was “super happy” to return to Flushing Meadows, but his post-match press conference was a more tense affair.
The world No. 1 Iga Swiatek believes that only Serena Williams could handle the febrile pre-match atmosphere that surrounded her first-round match of the US Open. The star-studded Arthur Ashe Stadium was absolutely rocking ahead of the 40-year-old’s 6-3 6-3 win over Montenegro’s Danka Kovinic, and Williams delivered a stirring performance to match the occasion.
Serena Williams could be joined in retirement by her sister Venus after the US Open, according to Eurosport’s John McEnroe, who has described the former as the ‘GOAT of GOATs’. Serena revealed earlier this month that she is “evolving away” from tennis and is set to retire after the US Open — but Venus, 42, has not announced any plans for her future. Ad Venus, a two-time US Open champion, makes her return on US soil after being included in the wildcard list and is preparing to face Alison Van Uytvanck in the first round having missed out on the 2021 tournament, sidelined through injury.
