Serena Williams at the US Open: Live Updates and Results (The New York Times)

The 23-time Grand Slam champion will start her farewell tour of Flushing Meadows with a first-round match against Danka Kovinic of Montenegro.

She has never made it past the third round of a Grand Slam tournament and has never made it past the second round at the U.S. [set to play Danka Kovinic](https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/25/sports/tennis/us-open-draw-serena-williams.html) in the first round of the tournament Monday, with her match scheduled for 7 p.m. As of Monday, tickets to see Williams play her first — and potentially last — singles match at the U.S. Afterward, a large crowd of fans watched as she exited the tennis center complex in a black sport utility vehicle. “I can’t think of a moment for her in her career in her life that she settled for less.” In addition to the singles draw, Williams will play women’s doubles with her sister, Venus. She has not ruled out playing more beyond New York, but it seems unlikely, particularly with her lining up to play doubles with her sister Venus for the first time at the U.S. “I think it was the best match in my career.” Simona Halep, a two-time Grand Slam singles champion and a semifinalist at Wimbledon last month, had the stumble of the day. Many fans who don’t have a ticket for Ashe just want a taste of the atmosphere of Serena Williams’s first match of the U.S. With apologies to the other 126 players who took to the courts at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center on Day 1 of the U.S. She did a quick change in the locker room and emerged into the quiet hallway, where one of her trainers was waiting.

Serena Williams v Danka Kovinic: US Open tennis 2022 – live! (The Guardian)

Game-by-game report: The 23-time major champion opens her campaign in what is almost certainly the final tournament of her career. Beau Dure has the latest.

Kovinić forces Serena into a bad spot in the next rally and goes up 30-40. The next serve nearly knocks the GOAT off her feet and leads to the best rally of the match thus far, with a nice mix of power and slices. On the next point, Serena comes to the net but volleys poorly. At 15-30, Kovinić rips one of her best serves of the match and still loses the point, hanging a drop shot where Serena can easily hit the winner. Then we get a truly outstanding point, with Serena running Kovinić ragged before surprising the Montenegrin with a drop shot. Then turnabout is fair play, as Kovinić puts a shot on nearly the same spot on the court where Serena placed a shot barely on the line and started her big run. But Serena misses her next first serve, and Kovinić rallies well to get to deuce. Serena is momentarily stunned but comes back to win the next point on a Kovinić error. Kovinić starts her attempt to stay in the match with a double fault. The Celebrity Roast of Serena Williams is still in progress, delayed a bit by the fact that Serena had to go out and win a tennis match first. Serena misses an opportunity to go up 40-15, and then another error gives Kovinić a surprising break point. Galan then literally takes a run at the upset, chasing down a drop shot and getting back up to run down another.
