Serena Williams Loses U.S. Open Semifinal, And No. 1 World Ranking With It
Share this: Serena Williams lost more than a match Thursday at the U.S. Open. The next time you look at the WTA rankings, there will be a name other than Serena Williams at No. 1 for the first time since Feb. 18, 2013, following her shocking straight-sets loss to Karolina Pliskova in Thursday’s semifinals at the year’s final Grand Slam.

Williams’ time at No. 1 will end at 186 weeks, tied for the longest-ever streak with Steffi Graf. Williams also is tied for most Grand Slams in the Open era
