Serena Williams is still alive in the U.S. Open, defeating No. 2 Anett Kontaveit Wednesday night to keep her farewell tour going. The victory was an impressive one, as she came out on top vs. a top player despite only playing in four matches total this year prior to the beginning of the tournament.
After the match, Williams was asked whether she was “surprising herself” by her success thus far. However, she just laughed the question off.
“I’m just Serena, you know,” she said.
