By Bhargav Modified 01 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Serena Williams is into the third round at the US Open. Serena Williams extended her farewell party by reaching the third round of the US Open on Wednesday night. The retiring Williams, playing the last tournament of her illustrious career, beat second seed Anett Kontaveit in a three-set late-night thriller in New York. With a partisan crowd vociferously behind her, the six-time winner drew first blood, taking the first set in a tiebreak. A deafening silence descended on Arthur Ashe when Kontaveit leveled the proceedings, dropping only two games. However, Williams reasserted her ascendancy in the contest - much to the delight of the crowd - to book her place in the Round of 32. US Open Tennis@usopenThe twirl continues.

#1 Serena Williams extends her perfect record in first two rounds of US Open
Serena Williams at the 2022 US Open Serena Williams is in no hurry to call time on her illustrious career. Despite winning only one of her four singles matches this year coming into New York, the 40-year-old has been a woman on a mission. She commenced her bid for a record seventh title at Flushing Meadows with a straight-sets win over Danka Kovinic. Williams ran into second seed Anett Kontaveit in the next round but was up for the challenge. Recovering from the loss of the second set, the 40-year-old breezed through the decider - dropping only two games - to extend her perfect record in the first two rounds at the last Grand Slam of the year. Williams is now 42-0 in the first two rounds in New York - where she is making her 21st and final appearance this fortnight.
