“I’m sorry… for the American people, for Serena, for the grand slam. But today is my day, sorry guys!” Roberta said in her post-match interview.

If Serena won the match, she would have went on to the finals for a chance to win the grand slam, a victory in all four of the major tournaments.

Serena received support at the match that day from her rumored boyfriend Drake.
