Serena Williams is going out on a limber, as the 33-year-old tennis superstar attempts to win the Grand Slam later this month when she competes at the US Open tennis tournament in Queens.
Williams — posing here for New York magazine’s fashion issue — could become the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four major tennis titles in one calendar year.
“I have to go into New York thinking, ‘Listen, I want to win the US Open. I want to defend my title,’ ” the top-ranked female tennis player — already victorious at the French and Australian opens and Wimbledon — said last month.
“Hopefully, people will be cheering me on to, like, push me over the edge, give me that extra strength I need to go for this historic moment.”
At Flushing Meadows, fans are anticipating a historic victory from Williams as tickets for the women’s finals match are selling for an average of more than $400, according to Forbes.
