She\u2019s earned that respect for people to invest their money in her. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe more she wins, the more people are going to bet her in her matches and to win the tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Serena, who along with her older sister Venus emerged from the public tennis courts of Compton, California and went on to transform the sport and grab the attention of a more racially diverse audience, has also lit up social media this week. <\/p>\n<p>Thirty percent of users who tweeted about Williams in August had not tweeted about tennis all year, and 67% of those who tweeted about her in August had not tweeted about her all year, the social media company Twitter said. <\/p>\n<p>Tickets to see the player many consider to be the greatest of all time have also skyrocketed. <\/p>\n<p>The \u201cget-in\u201d price to attend Friday\u2019s match is a whopping $565, while the cheapest ticket in the Lower Level of Arthur Ashe Stadium is $4,361, according to ticket retailer TickPick.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Rory Carroll in New York; Editing by Ken Ferris)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2744146\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8027Z-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8027Z-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/?attachment_id=2744151\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/09\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8027Y-VIEWIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI8027Y-VIEWIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Rory Carroll NEW YORK (Reuters) \u2013 Serena Williams\u2019 unexpected run to the the U.S. Open third round has sliced her odds of winning a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title,<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1630139","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1630139","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1630139"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1630139\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1630139"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1630139"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1630139"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
