The beginning of the end of Serena Williams’s historical tennis career kicks off on Monday, Aug. 29 at this year’s U.S. Open.
The 23-time Grand Slam champion’s first round opponent was released on Thursday, along with the entire U.S. Open draw. Williams will face Danka Koviniu0107, who is currently ranked No. 80 in the world.
If Williams wins the match against Koviniu0107, she could potentially face the No. 2 seed Anett Kontaveit in the second round.
It hasn’t been announced yet whether Williams’s first round match will take place on Monday or Tuesday. Fans should expect the match to be played in the biggest arena on the grounds, Arthur Ashe Stadium, and most likely the match will be played in the primetime spot at night.
