Tennis legend Serena Williams is playing her last US Open as she has announced her retirement from the game after playing for 27 years. After the ongoing US Open, she will retire from the game to spend some time with her family. In the tournament, the 40-year-old has beaten second-seeded Anett Kontaveit by 7-6 (7-4) 2-6 6-2. With this loss, the latter's journey in the tournament ended as she crashed out.
After the game, LeBron James, who is the four-time NBA Champion, made a noise like a goat. He did this to call Williams the 'Greatest of All Time (G.O.A.T). James' video is going viral on social media.

Serena's performance has driven up the ticket price: Adam Budelli
According to Adam Budelli, who is the spokesperson for StubHub (ticket resale company), the ticket price to watch the games inside the stadium has gone up. He reasoned that Serena William's performance in the second round of the tournament is the reason for the prices to go up. Budelli pointed out that the game between Serena Williams and Anett Kontaveit saw a 75 per cent increase in the prices compared to what it was on August 29.
“Her performance has driven up both prices and ticket sales for the second round, according to StubHub. The Wednesday night session at Arthur Ashe Stadium — which includes Williams’ match at 7 p.m. ET — saw a 75% increase since Monday night and accounts for almost 40% of ticket sales for the entirety of Round 2.
