  • Berstatus sebagai wakil tuan rumah, Serena Williams ingin merasakan atmosfer kompetisi usai pandemi corona.
  • Serena Williams ingin menyamai raihan grand slam Margaret Court.

SKOR.id - Tak sedikit petenis dunia yang berencana absen dalam US Open 2020, menyusul kondisi yang terjadi di New York, AS.

Namun, tak demikian dengan Serena Williams yang justru antusias berlaga di Flushing Meadows, New York, AS, 31 Agustus-13 September 2020.

Dalam video conference, Rabu (17/6/2020), Serena Williams mengaku tak sabar tampil di US Open 2020 meski di tengah pandemi Covid-19. 

Tak hanya virus corona, AS juga diguncang gelombang unjuk rasa, menyusul tewasnya George Floyd akibat sikap represif petugas kepolisian.

"Tentu, saya tak sabar kembali ke New York dan tampil dalam US Open 2020," kata petenis 38 tahun tersebut dilansir dari Forbes.

"Saya merasa bahwa USTA, panitia US Open, melakukan tugasnya dengan baik, mempertimbangkan semuanya demi keamanan bersama." 

Kolektor 23 trofi grand slam tersebut ingin kembali ke lapangan tenis setelah terakhir tampil dalam Fed Cup 2020, Februari lalu.

"Turnamen pasti akan berlangsung menarik karena sudah lebih dari enam bulan kami tidak bertanding dalam turnamen profesional," ujarnya.

Apalagi, dirinya mengusung misi, menambah raihan gelar mayor menjadi 24 atau menyamai rekor milik Margaret Court.   

Soal wacana tanpa penonton, Serena Williams tak menampik, rindu dengan atmosfer pertandingan normal yang riuh rendah. 

Tapi, dengan kondisi saat ini, bisa kembali bertanding diakui ibu satu putri itu sudah cukup menggembirakan karena sudah terlalu lama vakum.

"Saya akan merindukan para penggemar. Berada di New York dan mendengar dukungan mereka ketika menghadapi laga berat, saya antusias."

Apa yang dipilih Serena untuk turun dalam US Open 2020, berseberangan dengan sederet petenis elite lainnya seperti Simona Halep dan Ashleigh Barty.

Simona Halep mengaku ragu terbang dari Rumania ke New York karena ketatnya serangkaian protokol kesehatan selama US Open 2020.

Berbeda dengan Simona Halep, Ashleigh Barty galau karena pembatasan kru yang akan diberlakukan panitia US Open 2020.

Jika akhirnya para pemain elite memutuskan untuk absen pada US Open 2020, Serena berpeluang besar menambah gelar grand slam. 

Australia Open 2017 menjadi turnamen mayor terakhir yang menangi oleh istri dari pengusaha Alexis Ohanian tersebut.
