The beginning of the end of Serena Williams’s historical tennis career kicks off on Monday, Aug. 29 at this year’s U.S. Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion’s first round opponent was released on Thursday, along with the entire U.S. Open draw. Williams will face Danka Kovinić, who is currently ranked No. 80 in the world.
If Williams wins the match against Kovinić, she could potentially face the No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit in the second round.
