Serena, who amazed the world with two epic victories in this Grand Slam, has avoided confirming if she will put an end to her career once eliminated from this US Open, as she hinted last month.

After the defeat, Serena Williams offered an emotional speech on the court in which she ruled out rethinking her announced retirement from tennis, although she left one last gap open.

“Are you going to reconsider?” They asked a Williams who could barely hold back her tears.

“I don’t think so… but you never know”said the American who, at almost 41 years old, had just been eliminated in an epic three-hour battle against Australian Ajla Tomljanovic.
