Responses to tennis Twitter to Venus and Serena Williams’ defeats at the US Open

In a first-round loss at the US Open, Venus and Serena Williams possibly played their final doubles match together, sparking homage tweets.

There was optimism for another spectacular moment in the doubles tournament on Thursday after Serena Williams battled to a second-round victory to keep what is probably her final US Open alive.

For the first time since last year, Serena Williams collaborated with her sister, Venus Williams. Since the former is playing to “evolve” away from tennis after this tournament, it was announced that it would be their final doubles appearance.

Sadly, the power couple was unable to regain some of their former supremacy. They lost to Linda Noskova and Lucie Hradecka in straight sets.

Any disappointment there might have been was swiftly surpassed by thanks and admiration.

The chance to honor the greatest doubles team in history presented itself. While Twitter made sure to give the sisters their due, the crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium got to do it in person.

With their astounding 14-0 record in Grand Slam doubles finals, Venus and Serena have combined their individual successes in a way that only sisters could.

They have accomplished practically everything already. Even though the doubles match ended in a defeat, just being there on the court to receive a dignified send-off was worthwhile.

Naturally, Serena’s involvement in the US Open isn’t over yet. Serena advanced beyond the first two rounds, but Venus lost her match in the opening round. On Friday, she will compete against Ajla Tomljanovic in the third round.
