Roger Federer announced yesterday that he’ll wrap up his playing days at next weekend’s Laver Cup.

Tennis’ final Grand Slam of the season ushered in what feels like the start of something new, with two youngsters breaking through on the big stage.

Nearly two weeks, one epic career-bookending run and some late night heroics later, the US Open will come to a close this weekend in the Big Apple.

With many of tennis’ big stars eliminated (still processing Serena’s farewell), the door’s wide open for the next generation to make a name for themselves in the Big Apple.

Serena Williams isn’t the only one picking up wins during her farewell tour.

The first round action of tennis’ final 2022 Grand Slam brought a handful of stunning eliminations — including men’s world No. 5 Stefanos Tsitsipas and women’s defending champ Emma Raducanu — but all eyes are on one player who’s still in contention: Serena, of course.

The Serena Williams effect is going strong.
