Serena Williams given blockbuster Monday night tie under the lights at US Open

Serena Williams has been handed a blockbuster first-round tie under the Arthur Ashe lights on the first night of the US Open this Monday, with the match against Danka Kovinic potentially her last before retirement.

The 23-time Grand Slam champion is bowing out after the tournament in New York, meaning Monday night could be her final goodbye to tennis.

The schedule for the tournament was released Friday afternoon, with reigning men’s champion Daniil Medvedev opening the tournament against Stefan Kozlov in the main arena.
