Stephen Curry of the Golden State Warriors couldn’t contain his delight after seeing Serena Williams win the second round of the 2022 US Open. On Wednesday night, the 40-year-old overcame No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit in the second round of the US Open, extending her illustrious career after announcing plans to “evolve away” from tennis after the year’s last Grand Slam. Stephen Curry took to twitter to show his never-ending support for Serena Williams.
She may retire after the US Open, but not on Wednesday night since she still has tennis to play. Serena Williams, for one, was brutally honest about her mental state. The first set was tight, and she dropped the second, necessitating a third set to conclude the match. She stepped up big time when the heat was on because she realised she had nothing to lose.
Serena Williams delays her retirement
Earlier this month, the 23-time Grand Slam winner announced her intention to retire from tennis following the current US Open in 2022. Serena Williams retirement speculations began when she announced her plans in Vogue magazine, where she said, “Perhaps the best term to describe what I’m up to is evolution.” I’m here to inform you that I’m shifting my focus away from tennis and onto other activities that are important to me. Serena Ventures, a venture capital business, was founded secretly a few years ago. I began a family not long after that. I want to expand that family.
Serena Williams received not just motivating advice from Billie Jean King during her opening round triumph, but also a surprising surprise from the fans. The fans had a surprise for the 23-time grand slam singles champion, according to King. The 24,000 supporters in the stands lifted coloured cards in unison as King pushed the packed audience at centre court to make the big revelation. The majority of the cards were blue. Those in white spelled “We Love Serena.” Williams answered with a delighted spin and a wide smile
Politicians, sports figures, and celebrities who were unable to attend the U.S. Open in person flocked to social media to congratulate Williams and commend her efforts. US Vice President Kamala Harris wrote, “Thank you @SerenaWilliams for inspiring people all across the world with your skill, elegance, and drive both on and off the court.” “We celebrate everything you have been, everything you are, and everything you will be.” Stephen Curry, fresh off his graduation from Davidson College, tweeted: “Not done yet.
Williams and sister Venus Williams will hit the court at Flushing Meadows on Thursday at 7 p.m. ET in Arthur Ashe Stadium against the Czech Republic’s Lucie Hradecka and Linda Noskova. The sisters have 14 Grand Slam doubles titles, tied for second most in the Open Era, including two in the US Open in 1999 and 2009. Their most recent Grand Slam doubles triumph came in 2016 at Wimbledon. They have three Olympic gold medals in doubles as well. Williams will face Ajla Tomljanovic of Australia in the third round on Friday. They’ve never played against each other.
