  4. Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-1 Williams

    A very emotional Serena Williams has been speaking after her defeat: "Oh my god, thank you so much, you were amazing.

    "Thank you daddy, I know you're watching. Thanks mum.

    "I want to thank everyone who's here, who has been on my side for so many years, literally decades.

    "It all started with my parents and they deserve everything. I'm really grateful for them.

    "These are happy tears, I guess. I don't know.

    "I wouldn't be Serena if there wasn't Venus, so thank you Venus. She's the only reason Serena Williams ever existed."

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one at Flushing Meadows

    She will stay on the court for an interview. I don't know how she is going to get through this.

  6. Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-1 Williams

    If that is the end, and my word I really hope it isn't, what a way to go out.

    Serena Williams takes a moment to wave to the crowd and taking in their love, telling them thank you.

    Serena Williams' career is over. The greatest of all time has finally run out of time. There will never be anyone else like her.

  8. game, set and match

    Game, set and match Tomljanovic

    Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 6-1 Williams

    Yes, yes it is. Ajla Tomjlanovic is the winner of this enthralling, astounding encounter as Serena Williams finds the net in what is set to be her very last match.

  9. Sixth match point

    *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    An ace from Tomljanovic hands her a SIXTH match point.

    Is this it?

  10. *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    Williams denied. Again. Just keep going!

  11. Third break point Williams

    *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    Ridiculous just doesn't cover it.

    I have no idea how she does it, but Serena Williams brings up a third break point with a backhand overhead.

  12. Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Flushing Meadows

    People are literally dancing in their seats.

    "This is ridiculous," says someone behind.

    Truly.

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one at Flushing Meadows

    There will not be a better match than this in the entire tournament.

  14. *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    It continues. Williams flips a forehand return over the baseline.

  15. *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    Tomljanovic plops a forehand half-heartedly into the net.

    BREAK POINT SERENA WILLIAMS AGAIN.

  16. Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Flushing Meadows

    My word. Williams threw everything she had at that forehand winner on the fifth match. Would have gone to The Bronx if there hadn't been a wall.

    Laura Robson
    Former British number one at Flushing Meadows

    You're kidding me...

  18. *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    She. Will. Not. Be. Beaten.

    Serena Williams responds to a Tomljanovic serve with a forehand sent cross-court. DEUCE.

  19. Fifth match point

    *Tomljanovic 7-5 6-7 (4-7) 5-1 Williams

    Tomljanovic has a fifth match point as Williams puts far too much power behind a forehand.
