Serena returns to US Open — as a fan

Serena Williams set Flushing Meadows abuzz on Saturday as the 23-time major winner appeared at the US Open — as a fan — for the first time since stepping away from tennis two years ago.

The six-time winner dominated New York throughout her career — tied with Chris Evert for the most titles there -and fittingly made an emotional goodbye in Flushing Meadows, when she played her final match against Australian Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round of the 2022 tournament.

She's been plenty busy ever since, pursuing her business interests, signing a book deal, putting out a documentary series currently airing on ESPN and, in July, hosting the ESPYS.Williams gave birth to her second daughter a year ago.
