Serena Williams lost her first-round match at the Western &  Southern Open in Ohio Tuesday, falling 6-4, 6-0 to Emma Raducanu in her last tournament before the U.S. Open later this month, which is expected to be the final tournament of her career.

Williams was given a standing ovation from the crowd after the loss. The 40-year-old announced last week that she’d be leaving tennis, in part because she wants to have another child, suggesting the U.S. Open would be her last tournament.
