That is definitely the one because I almost died in that event - Serena Williams on proudest moment of her career after US Open 3R loss

By Bhargav Modified 03 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Serena Williams lost in the third round of the US Open on Friday night. Serena Williams said that her 2015 French Open win remains the proudest moment of her career after losing to Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the US Open on Friday night. Playing in the last tournament of her illustrious carer this fortnight, the six-time Flushing Meadows winner fell in three sets to Tomljanovic. After losing a tight opening set 7-5, Williams restored parity by taking the second in a tiebreak, much to the delight of a record crowd at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. However, the 23-time Major winner found a 5-1 deficit too big to surmount in the decider. Despite saving five match points, Williams lost in the third round at Flushing Meadows for the first time since making her US Open debut.

"French Open 2015, yeah. That is definitely the one that I'm taking with me because I almost died in that event. Somehow I won. So that was pretty awesome," Serena Williams said. In Paris that year, the former World No. 1 won her third title at the tournament, but the win didn't come without drama. Against Lucie Safarova in the final, the then 33-year-old looked on course for a routine win - leading by a set and a break. Suddenly, a double fault would change the course of the match. Safarova broke back and took the second set on a tiebreak to level proceedings. Trailing in the decider, Williams roared back to reign supreme in Paris for the third time, winning her 20th Major title that year. Winning the first three Majors that year, Williams was two wins away from a calendar year Grand Slam but lost to Roberta Vinci in one of the biggest Grand Slam upsets in recent history.

The crowd was really wanting to push me past the line I m so thankful and grateful for that - Serena Williams

After seeing off Danka Kovinic in straight sets, she dumped out second seed Anett Kontaveit in the next. However, she failed to get over the line against Tomljanovic, despite a record crowd cheering her all the way through. US Open Tennis@usopenThe last week was one for the books.
