Serena Williams passes the first round and postpones her goodbye

MADRID, 30 Ago. (EUROPA PRESS) -

The American tennis player Serena Williams has surpassed her debut at the US Open this morning, the fourth 'Grand Slam' of the season, after beating the Montenegrin Danka Kovinic (6-3, 6-3), a victory that guarantees her to continue in the last tournament of his sports career.

Wrapped up by 29,402 dedicated spectators, the 41-year-old 23-time champion of a 'big' took to the court dressed in her Nike-designed dress, which featured six layers to commemorate her six US Open titles, and special sneakers from the same branding with a diamond-encrusted 'swoosh'.

The American had lost three of four matches since returning to play at Wimbledon after a year's absence, but she did not fail at Arthur Ashe Stadium. She started 2-0 and although Kovinic scored three games in a row, Serena broke again twice to take the set. Already in the second, two new breaks were enough to close the contest in her favor.

In this way, he extended his record of 21-0 in the first round of the US Open, where he has only lost two sets against Nicole Pratt in 1998 and Anca Barna in 2001. This same week, he will also participate in the doubles with his sister Venus.
