A special night Serena Williams and tennis fans will never forget as farewell continues - US Open Diary

An opening night like no other Monday night did not end up being Serena Williams’ farewell but it will still be an occasion she will never forget. Ad A rocking Arthur Ashe Stadium was ready to throw a glitzy party for the American icon and Serena turned up for it dressed to the nines; literally sparkling from head to toe with diamonds in her hair, dress and shoes. Not to mention the long shiny train she had attached to her dress for her walk-on.

US Open: Retirement getting closer but Wawrinka still has the fire

Wawrinka hinted that he was getting closer to hanging up his racket after being forced to retire mid-match during his opening round contest at the hardcourt major on Monday against French lucky loser Corentin Moutet. Wawrinka, 37, had twice called the trainer on court to tend to his finger and was trailing 6-4 7-6(7) when he signalled he could no longer continue against Moutet, who managed to make the main draw despite losing in the qualifying stage. It was the sixth straight defeat for the three-time major champion, who lifted his last Grand Slam trophy at Flushing Meadows in 2016.

Coco Gauff To Cheer Serena Williams After Clearing US Open Hurdle

US teenager Coco Gauff said she planned to cheer on Serena Williams from the stands after sweeping into the second round of the US Open on Monday. Gauff, one of a crop of African-American players who cite Williams as the inspiration for their career, made short work of defeating France's Leolia Jeanjean 6-2, 6-3 in her first round match. But while most players would be hustling back to their luxury Manhattan hotels for rest and recuperation, Gauff revealed after her victory she was going to hang around to catch Williams later Monday in what could be her final Grand Slam match. Williams has signalled she plans to retire after this year's US Open.
