Bella Hadid, Queen Latifah, Hugh Jackman, and More Cheer on Serena Williams at the US Open

The first night of the 2022 US Open was a star-studded event, with tons of celebrities heading to Flushing, Queens, to watch Serena Williams begin playing in what is expected to be her last professional tennis tournament. On Aug. 29, Williams faced off against Danka Kovinić in the first round and beat her in straight sets. Of course, Williams’s husband Alexis Ohanian and daughter Olympia were on hand for the special night, as were other celebs including Bella Hadid, Hugh Jackman, Anthony Anderson, Ashley Graham, Queen Latifah, and more.

Queen Latifah narrated a special tribute video to Williams that played during the intros before the match. Actor and singer Anika Noni Rose sang the national anthem before heading into the stands to watch the action on the court. And after Williams won, CBS Mornings host Gayle King led a small ceremony honouring the tennis great. Fellow tennis legend Billie Jean King also spoke in honour of Williams and her accomplishments, and a series of clips narrated by Oprah Winfrey was screened.

On Wednesday, Aug. 31, Williams will face Estonia’s Anett Kontaveit, the No. 2 seed, in the second round of the tournament.
