She beat Danka Kovinic 6-3, 6-3 and World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit 7-6(4), 2-6, 6-2 in her first couple of rounds in New York. In her post-match press conference, Serena said that she has not been thinking about returning to action. She admitted that she has come a long way since last year's Wimbledon, when she had to retire in the first round due to injury. "I don't know. I'm not thinking about that. 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," the American said. "Yeah, and it takes a lot of work to get here. Clearly I'm still capable. It takes a lot more than that. I'm ready to, like, be a mom, explore a different version of Serena. Technically in the world I'm still super young, so I want to have a little bit of a life while I'm still walking," she added. After defeating Serena, Ajla Tomljanovic will be up against Liudmila Samsonova in the fourth round of the US Open.
