It’s usually been no by tennis establishment. @serenawilliams maybe will start another positive trend. Obviously tonight special circumstances, but still fans want to hear from both players," she tweeted.

"I wish I could have played better but Belinda played so well today," she said, adding, "It's been a pretty interesting 24 hours. It's been so memorable, like I said in my article I'm terrible at goodbyes but…goodbye Toronto. " Bencic also paid tribute to the 40-year-old and spoke about the 'intimidating' aura of Williams. "You can feel her presence everywhere. She has this aura that's just, you know, if you want it or not, you are intimidated, you are scared. Once she's just standing there at the return, you just get a little bit scared. Of course it's Serena," Bencic said. "I mean, in a way with her it feels almost like I'm star struck every time I see her. So it's difficult to play her. It's difficult to kind of put that aside and just like focus on the match.
