Serena Williams lost in the 3rd round of the US Open

Williams during her third-round match against Ajla Tomljanovic Serena Williams reached the third round at the US Open with wins over Danka Kovinic and World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit. However, her hopes for a 24th Major were dashed by Ajla Tomljanovic in a thrilling match that lasted three hours and seven minutes. In her post-match press conference, Williams left some ambiguity regarding her retirement, saying she wasn't sure whether this was indeed her last match and that she "always did love Australia." "I don't know. I'm not thinking about that," she said. "I always did love Australia, though. But yeah, you know what, I've come a long way since last year at Wimbledon. Just not sure if that was my last moment or not. Making it a different moment I think is much better."
