"Sad to see her go" - Fans react to Mike Tyson sharing his grief at seeing Serena Williams retire 

Mike Tyson reacted to Serena Williams retiring at the US Open after putting on a brave performance.

Williams took on Ajla Tomljanović in the third round of the US Open at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. The American had already stated that this tournament would be her last, despite the result. After losing the first set, the 23-time Grand Slam winner put on an impressive performance in the second set.

Mike Tyson, whose daughter Milan is a big fan of Williams, reacted to the news on social media:

"Watching @serenawilliams live last night with my daughter Milan with mixed emotions. Sad to see her go but happy for next part of her journey. The GOAT!"

Tyson has a lot of respect for the 23-time Grand Slam champion, especially after his daughter got into the sport and started playing. 'Iron Mike' has attended several matches with her daughter and has always admired Williams.
