On September 2, 2022, under the bright lights of Arthur Ashe Stadium, Serena Williams lost at the U.S. Open for what is likely the final time. At 40 years old, after only playing in six previous matches the whole year and beating the world No. 2, she could not overcome Ajla Tomljanovic. Serena cried. Venus and Oracene and Alexis and Isha beamed. The crowd roared. And I had a lot of feelings and tears about Serena and Venus. So I wrote them out for you, the world, and myself. Venus and Serena, our Queens, thank you for everything! And Venus, see you next year!
