With the win, Serena Williams will head to the third round, and play, for the first time,  against  Ajla Tomljanovic.

The performance of Serena Williams as the US Open  2022  tournament was about to start in New York was debatable. In fact, Serena Williams has only played four times, since she recovered from injuries that took her off the games for more than 11 months. Her last game against  British number one Emma Raducanu in Cincinnati was a disappointment.  She had continued to struggle with a knee injury in the build-up to the US Open. On top of that, most of her opponents are way much younger than her.

If she wins the 2022 US Open, she will retire after 20 years of dominating Women's tennis and with  a historic legacy, that would  include 24 wins, and has inspired  and continue to inspire many young girls, women,  and people of color to dream big and reach higher goals.

Commenting on Serena's decision to retire, World number 12 Coco Gauff, 18, said  that Serena Williams was "the reason why I play tennis" and her legacy will "inspire many more generations." 

Coco Gauff may be one of the top contenders of the US Open 2022. 

Go  Serena!!!
