Shockwaves rippled across social media after Serena Willaims was beaten 1-6 6-3 6-3 by Victoria Azarenka in the semifinals of the US Open on Thursday. The loss meant she doesn't get the opportunity of winning a record-equalling 24 Grand Slam Singles titles on home soil. It also means, Azarenka sets up a date with Naomi Osaka in the final.

Fans who hoped for a Williams win were left disappointed after the loss and started discussing what the future holds for the legend. "This could be the end of Serena. Better to retire in a high note. No one can achieve what she achieved in Tennis. Great player and a great mom. All the best Vika in the finals. Go there and get the trophy. You can do it," read one of the comments.
