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.

John McEnroe says tennis fans will not remember the circumstances players have faced during their careers when discussing who the greatest tennis player of all time is. Rafael Nadal currently leads the Big Three on 22 Grand Slam titles, one more than Novak Djokovic on 21 and two more than Roger Federer (20).
Novak Djokovic’s 2022 season has been described as the “trainwreck of trainwrecks” by John McEnroe after he was unable to play at the US Open due to being unvaccinated. The 21-time Grand Slam champion missed the Australian Open due to his vaccine stance and has also been unable to play in the United States or Canada this summer. Ad He was given late hope that he might be able to enter the US due to a relaxing of the rules, but withdrew before the draw last week as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) confirmed visitors to the US still needed to be vaccinated if they are foreign nationals.
John McEnroe has suggested Serena Williams could delay her retirement if she wins a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam at the US Open. Williams, 40, has said she is “evolving away from tennis” and is looking to «grow her family». Ad It is expected that the US Open will be the final tournament of her legendary career, although she has hinted that she might continue to play on.
John McEnroe says he «doesn't see any way» that the Big Three's dominance of tennis will ever be repeated. Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic have produced some of the most extraordinary levels of dominance ever seen in tennis over the past 15 years, as well as one of the all-time great sporting rivalries.
The then 18-year-old rocketed to tennis stardom a year ago when he beat third-seeded Greek Stefanos Tsitsipas in the third round on his way to becoming the youngest man to reach the quarter-final at Flushing Meadows. He retired in the quarters against young Canadian Felix Auger-Aliassime but had already earned his reputation as one of the fiercest competitors among tennis's next generation.
