By Anirudh Modified 03 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Serena Williams was overcome with emotions following her US Open third-round defeat. Serena Williams thanked her family for their contributions, especially her parents and sister Venus Williams, after her decorated career came to an end in New York on Friday night. The American veteran bowed out of the tennis circuit with a third-round defeat to Alija Tomljanovic at the 2022 US Open. Weeks away from her 41st birthday and ranked an unfamiliar No. 605 in the world, Williams put up a fight against Tomljanovic that has been a hallmark of her career. She dug deep and refused to bow out quietly, saving five match points before eventually coming up short. After the contest, the 23-time Grand Slam champion took in the applause of the packed Arthur Ashe Stadium before addressing the gathering and the world. "Oh my god, thank you so much. You guys were amazing today. I tried, Alija played a little bit better. Thank you. Daddy! I know you're watching. Thanks Mom. Oh my god. Just everyone that's here that's been on my side so many years, decades. Oh my gosh, literally decades," she said, speaking on-court. wta@WTAFor Redefining The Game.#ThankYouSerena779199For Redefining The Game.#ThankYouSerena https://t.co/Ivj5PRF7Te She credited her parents and sister Venus for supporting her and helping her reach lofty heights.
