Serena Williams hailed the influence of Tiger Woods after the golfing great persuaded her to return to the court and then cheered her on to victory over second seed Anett Kontaveit at the US Open.
The volatile Australian was given a code violation during an ugly flashpoint in the third set of his victory over France's Benjamin Bonzi on Louis Armstrong court. Kyrgios appeared to aim a mouthful of spit in the general direction of his box and then dropped several F-bombs at his team after suffering a break of serve. Kyrgios went on to drop the set but subsequently recovered his composure to secure a 7-6 (7/3), 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 victory. Kyrgios later said he had been taken by surprise by the resistance of world number 50 Bonzi.
NEW YORK : Win, lose or draw, Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic said she will relish the opportunity to play her idol Serena Williams when they face off at the U.S. Open on Friday.
NEW YORK : Anett Kontaveit said she expected the sold-out crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium to throw their full support behind Serena Williams during her win on Wednesday, but the environment was "hard" and unlike anything she had faced before.
NEW YORK : Coco Gauff beat Romania's Elena-Gabriela Ruse 6-2 7-6(4) to warm up Arthur Ashe Stadium court for Serena Williams, who was scheduled to play what could be the final singles match of her career under the lights on Wednesday.
NEW YORK: Playing more like a world number one than a player ranked outside the top 600, Serena Williams turned back the clock on Wednesday (Aug 31) to stun world number two Anett Kontaveit 7-6(4) 2-6 6-2 and move into the third round of the US Open, putting her retirement plans on pause.
Serena Williams dramatically extended her iconic career on Wednesday with a never-say-die, three-set victory over world number two Anett Kontaveit at the US Open. The 40-year-old, 23-time Grand Slam title winner triumphed 7-6 (7/4), 2-6, 6-2 in front of a raucous, partisan Arthur Ashe Stadium Court crowd to reach the third round of a tournament she has won six times. Having declared that she was already "evolving away from tennis" after a 27-year career, Williams' force of will ensured that the retirement party was put on hold for a little longer.
NEW YORK – Serena Williams can call it “evolving” or “retiring” or whatever she wants. And she can be coy about whether or not this U.S. Open will actually mark the end of her playing days. Those 23 Grand Slam titles earned that right.
