The 23-time Grand Slam winner rode a roller coaster of a first set as she got her serve going — and likely worked through some nerves, given the huge hype around the match. Her serve became a major player in the second set as Williams started to assert her game.

They really helped pull me through. I was really pumped." Speaking about her, Williams said the decision was not an easy one."When you're passionate about something and you love something so much, it's always hard to walk away.
