Williams told the crowd after the game, “You know, I always have to give my best.” I feel really at ease here in front of everyone on the court.

“When I walk off the court, I just want to do my best on this particular day.” That’s all I can do.

Since Williams, 40, announced her upcoming plans to “progress” from tennis in a first-person essay in Vogue earlier this month, she has been given a farewell tour of sorts, including the Canadian Open and Western & Southern. Both received a standing ovation. open

On Monday night, a sold-out crowd of about 24,000—which included a laundry list of A-list celebrities and notables, including former President Bill Clinton, Spike Lee, Lindsey Vonn, Bella Hadid, Baggy Wilson, Vera Wang, Mike. Tyson, Dr Ruth Westheimer, Gladys Knight, Martina Navratilova, and even Coco Goff—were on their feet before Williams took the court.

Williams now has 366 Grand Slam victories, which is the most of any female player since the stadium’s opening in 1997. Her 102nd triumph at Arthur Ashe Stadium was this one. After the match, Williams was congratulated on the court. The event featured a “Thank you, Serena” video by Oprah Winfrey, along with Gayle King and Billie Jean King.

Williams addressed the crowd and thanked them for their support, saying, “I didn’t expect any of this.”

Gracious about the loss, Kovink said it was “probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play against Serena, especially in a night session match against Arthur Ashe,” and called it an “experience” that I can only remember. I can think and dream. “Career.”

Tickets for the Monday night session became a hot item after Williams’ announcement in Vogue. Monday night’s session was more expensive to attend than any US Open women’s final on record, according to TickPick, a secondary ticket website. According to ticket analytics firm TicketIQ, the average secondary market ticket price as of Monday morning was listed at $987. There were 29,402 fans in attendance for the night session — a US Open record.

Even his pre-match practice session drew thousands of fans to catch a glimpse of the legend, with queues lining up to catch a glimpse through the mesh fence.

But despite making a splash in her return to Wimbledon after a year’s absence and losing three of her four matches, Williams wasn’t ready to call it a career just yet. On Monday, wearing a figure skating-inspired outfit originally designed with six layers to represent all six of her US Open titles (but four were eventually removed due to their weight) and her diamonds in her hair, Williams strutted around the court—and eventually spun—and showed off the sparkle that has made her one of the all-time greats. In the 99-minute match, he recorded 22 wins and nine aces.

Williams said she was excited to continue her run in singles but was not focused on the next match.

Williams admitted that right now, everything is a bonus for me.”I mean, I believe that every opponent is hard.” I witnessed it during the summer. The next one is considerably more difficult. ” It’s advantageous that I was able to complete it. I don’t know, I’m not even thinking about it. I’m just thinking about this moment. I think for me. It’s good to just be in it. The moment is now. “

Asked if this would be her last tournament, Williams replied with a knowing smile: “Yeah, I’ve been pretty vague about it, right?”
