See the Celebrities Who Attended Serena Williams' US Open Match

Serena Williams' first-round match at the U.S. Open on Monday had a star-studded audience.

From the former President Bill Clinton to “The Greatest Showman” actor Hugh Jackman and his wife, Deborra-Lee Furness, there was no shortage of celeb spotting in the stands. And with Williams winning 6-3, 6-3 over Danka Kovinic at the Arthur Ashe Stadium in Queens, what a great game to be at.

Williams recently announced her plans to evolve away from tennis in a first-person essay for Vogue. “I have never liked the word retirement. It doesn’t feel like a modern word to me,” Williams wrote in the essay published in early August.

“I’ve been thinking of this as a transition, but I want to be sensitive about how I use that word, which means something very specific and important to a community of people. Maybe the best word to describe what I’m up to is evolution," she continued. "I’m here to tell you that I’m evolving away from tennis, toward other things that are important to me.”

Williams' first-round match turnout proves people aren’t missing the chance to see Williams play for what might be the last time.
