Serena Williams - now ranked World No. 608 - created a fairy-tale by upsetting World No. 2 Anett Kontaveit in the US Open second round. As she rightly said; she feels she has already "won the tournament". Crowds at the US Open have been packed to the rafters to witness Serena's Farewell Tour; with every match possibly her last and no one wanting to miss the occasion.
For the first time in history; the US Open doubles first round was played on Center Court; as it featured not ust Serena but her sister Venus in a true Sister Act; in what may also be the duo's final time on court. Not surprisingly; they lost in the first round to the Czech team Lucie Hradecka & Linda Noskova.
