On Tuesday, the 23 Grand Slam winner, Serena Williams surpassed Chris Evert's record for most singles wins in US Open history, male or female. The Tennis star won her 102nd US Open match to break the tie with Evert after defeating Kristie Ahn 7-5, 6-3, in the first round.

Key Highlights

• Serena Williams broke Chris Evert's record for most singles wins in US Open history

• Serena returned to the court after a six-month break

The 38-year-old told NY Post, "I think what’s most important about this event taking place is just the spirit.’’ She added, "Sport has been gone for so long, particularly tennis. We missed two Grand Slams. Morale can be really low in the world with everything that’s going on. Sometimes you just want to take your mind off. That’s one of the reasons I was so supportive of the U.S. Open."

Williams is now six wins away from equalling Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam. She told ESPN, "I’ve been playing a ton of tight matches. I felt like, all right, I just wanted to be Serena focused from the first point to the last point no matter what happens."
