Serena Williams Crashes Out Of US Open after Going Down In 3rd Round

Serena Williams suffered a likely career-ending defeat when she was knocked out of the US Open on Friday by Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic. The 23-time Grand Slam title winner, and six-time champion in New York, lost her third round clash 7-5, 6-7 (4/7), 6-1.

Williams, who turns 41 in three weeks' time, had said she remained "vague" over her retirement plans but without a major title since 2017, her 27-year-career is now almost certainly over.
