The beautiful story of Serena Williams comes to an end.
The American, who knew how to make the pleasure last two rounds longer than expected, could not resist Tomlanovic in the third round of the US Open.
She lost in three sets, 7-5, 6-7, 6-1 to the Australian.
To the question "are you going to reconsider your decision to retire?"
Asked after the match, the American with 23 Grand Slam titles replied "I don't think so, but you never know".
At almost 41 years old (September 26), Serena Williams announced at the beginning of August that she would soon stop competing, without saying where or when.
The New York Major, where she won the first of her 23 Grand Slam titles in 1999 at the age of 17, seems to be the ideal way out.
Unless the queen sees it otherwise.
