Demand for tickets to witness tennis great Serena Williams in action at the US Open spiked in the 24 hours following her announcement that she would retire after the hard court major in New York, ticket retailer Stub Hub told Reuters.

“We typically see demand spike on Stub Hub when a player announces their retirement, and this is especially the case when it’s Serena Williams, arguably one of the greatest players to set foot on the tennis court,” spokesperson Adam Budelli said.

Six of Williams’ 23 Grand Slam titles have come at the US Open and she reached the final at Flushing Meadows as recently as 2019. Williams won her last major in 2017 at the Australian Open while pregnant with her daughter, Olympia.
