See Serena Williams’ final match in dazzling photos

If this is truly it for Serena Williams then what a career it has been.

Ajla Tomljanovich eliminated Williams on Friday night after maybe the most grueling and agonizing 6-1 set you’ll ever see. It felt like each time Tomljanovich set up for a match point, Williams would fiercely counter the way she has through the entirety of her career.

She did not go down without a fight and no one expected her to. Tomljanovich said she didn’t expect Williams to lose until she actually beat her. That’s just how good she is.

The final moments of her career weren’t in victory, but they were still absolutely perfect. Take a look at them in the gallery below.
