Serena Williams continues her farewell run at the 2022 US Open as she defeated World No. 2 and 2nd seeded Anett Kontaveit in the second round. Serena won the match 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-2 to become the only WTA player aged above 40 to defeat a Top-3 player. Serena had earlier defeated Danka Kovinic in the first round and continues to delay her farewell in what is the ‘one last dance’.

Ajla Tomljanovic got the better of Evgeniya Rodina in the second round in a brilliant comeback win taking the match 1-6, 6-2, 7-5 to enter the 3rd round. The Australian had earlier defeated Karolina Muchova in straight-sets as the Australian matches her best-ever run at the Grand Slam by reaching the third round.

Serena and Ajla are yet to play each other on the Tour, hence the head-to-head stands at 0-0.

Ajla Tomljanovic
Ajla Tomljanovic

Serena has a career hardcourt record of 546-97 while being 3-2 on the surface this year and having a 3-3 season record coming into the match. Ajla is 209-165 on hardcourts across his career and has a 16-11 record for the season on the surface while being 30-20 for the season across all surfaces. Looking at these numbers and their recent form, on paper, Tomljanovic looks certain for the win but Serena is not ready to give up yet and could drag the match into the 3rd set once again where Ajla might just nick it given her better athleticism presently.

Prediction: Ajla Tomljanovic to win in three sets.
