The greatest of all time, Serena Williams says goodbye to tennis

Serena Williams waved goodbye to the US Open - and her illustrious career - after losing to Australia's Ajla Tomljanovic on a thrilling night in New York. Williams, who turns 41 this month, had said this would be her last match.

It has ended a 27-year professional career that brought 23 major singles victories and sees the American widely labeled as the greatest of all time. Williams fought back from a set down but ended up losing 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-1.

The former long-time world number one saved five match points in what turned out to be the last game but was powerless to stop a sixth.

Asked if she would reconsider retiring after her performances this week, Williams said: “I'm playing my way through it and getting better. I should have started sooner this year. I don't think so, but you never know."

Williams had tears streaming down her face as she was interviewed among the judges, thanking her family, team, crowd and fans around the world for their support over the years.

"I thank all those who are here, who have been by my side for so many years, decades. Oh my gosh, literally decades,” said Williams, who played her first professional tour as a 14-year-old in 1995.
