The Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd, sensing a lost set for Williams, fell silent. Kontaveit found her rhythm early and often, easily breaking Williams in the first game and smashing winners all over the court. Williams, trying to pull herself up, yelled “Come on!” in Game 3 after hitting a couple of winners of her own. But Kontaveit held firm to take a 3-0 lead and mostly cruised from there. Williams is almost 41 years old and has battled multiple injuries in recent years. Her game is not as consistent as it was five years ago. And yet throughout the set, she showed flashes of her familiar brilliance, chasing down shots and hitting cross-court winners. Williams’ serve was her biggest weapon as she hit 10 aces. But she also betrayed her at critical moments, like when she double-faulted on match point to go down 4-1. Williams took a short break after the set, going to the locker room for a few minutes before returning to the court.
