Tennis fans were not ready to see Serena Williams take her last bow on Monday. In the first round of the 2022 U.S. Open, Williams bested Danka Kovinic in two sets (6-3, 6-3) to move on in the tournament and delay her retirement from the sport of tennis.
After entering the arena to an ardent showing from fans and wearing matching outfits with her daughter, Williams was given a post-victory serenade from television host Gayle King! It was a great moment for Williams and fans, especially coming off the high of a strong tournament debut.
