In her first match at what is expected to be the last US Open — and last tournament — of her remarkable playing career, Williams overcame a shaky start to overwhelm Danka Kovinic 6-3, 6-3 on Monday night in a packed Arthur Ashe Stadium with an atmosphere more akin to a festival than a farewell.There were double-faults.
The more than 23,000 in attendance rose for a raucous standing ovation. There would be more, as Williams carried that terrific level into the second set against Kovinic, a 27-year-old from Montenegro.Serena Williams is now in the second round of the US Open tennis championships. Williams's outfit caught the eye, a six-layer skirt — one tier for every US Open title she has won — and a diamond-encrusted bodice.
Film director Spike Lee, a regular at Flushing Meadows, got one of his most cherished close-ups helping with the pre-match toss.Loyal fans of Williams had travelled far to witness what could have been the icon's last appearance.
