FILES-TENNIS-US-OPEN-2022

(FILES) In this file photo taken on June 08, 2002 US Serena Williams (L) and her sister and opponent Venus Williams hold Roland Garros trophies, in Paris, at the end of the Roland Garros French Open women’s final match. – Serena Williams’ dreams of a fairytale finish to her glittering career were left in ruins on September 2, 2022, as the tennis icon was sent crashing out of the US Open by Australia’s Ajla Tomljanovic. The 40-year-old Williams — who last month signalled she planned to retire after the Open — was beaten 7-5, 6-7 (4/7) 6-1 by Tomljanovic in a gruelling 3-hour 5-minute battle.
