Tennis player Kontaveit: “I haven’t played against Serena, but better late than never. This is my last chance”

Estonian tennis player Anette Kontaveit confessed she was very excited ahead of the US Open second round match against the American’s former world No. 1 racket Serena Williams .

In the first round, Kontaveit defeated Romania’s Jacqueline Christian with a score of 6:3, 6:0. Williams defeated Danka Kovinic from Montenegro – 6:3, 6:3. Previously, the American had not ruled out that the US Open could be the last tournament of her career.

“I’m very excited, I was supporting Serena’s victory. Never played against her. I mean it’s the last chance. Better late than never.

I think the atmosphere will be amazing, I’m looking forward to the game. I think it will be one of those games where there will be no pressure on me. I will enjoy and play as well as possible that day.

I remember how she always fought, clenching her fists, she gives 100%. Serena is always tense on the pitch which I think is great,” Kontaveit quoted Reuters.

The meeting between Williams and Kontaveit is scheduled for the evening of August 31, starting at 7:00 p.m. New York time.

The US Open runs from August 29 to September 11.
