Serena Williams is set to begin what is widely expected to be her final US Open on Monday night. The tennis superstar announced her retirement earlier this month, so barring a Tom Brady-type situation, this will be her last time competing in New York City.
Williams — who currently ranks No. 59 in the world — will look to extend her perfect 20-0 record in first-round US Open matchups against 80th-ranked Danka Kovinic. Williams is a heavy favorite, but even if she’s eliminated, she won’t be done competing quite yet. She’ll also be participating in doubles with her sister, Venus.
