21 celebrities who showed up to watch Serena Williams during the U.S. Open

All eyes were on Serena Williams during the 2022 U.S. Open as the greatest tennis player of all time took her curtain call. On Monday, Williams bested Danka Kovinic in two sets (6-3, 6-3) in the opening round to move on to the second round of the tournament on Wednesday against Anett Kontaveit.

Monday night was quite the emotional one, from the fans’ responses to the outfit Williams wore in tandem with her daughter. After some early shakiness, Williams returned to her dominant self to advance on in the tournament.

She beat world No. 2 player Anett Kontaveit in the second round to play Ajla Tomljanovic in the third on Friday.

Considering the high profile event as Williams’s assumed last tournament before retirement, many celebrities showed up to watch the match in New York. Here are the celebrities, from Tiger Woods to Hugh Jackman and Bill Clinton, who showed up to watch Williams in the U.S. Open!
