Anett Kontaveit and Serena Williams were competing in the third round of US Open Tennis 2022.
The Guardian reported, "if this match had taken place in Adelaide, Prague, or any other WTA Tour stop, Kontaveit might have beaten Williams."
Kontaveit didn't play poorly at all. Serena was not given this match. She had to work for it, with her powerful serve back on target for much of the match, and she frequently annihilated Kontaveit's second serve.
She did release a set. That, however, only increased her intensity. Serena is celebrating her victory tonight. She'll return to singles play on Friday.
