The way she has looked it doesn't look like she is going to make a miraculous comeback and win the tournament,&quot; Navratilova said.Navratilova also compared her retirement journey to that of Serena Williams.&quot;It's hard. When I retired in '93 I told the press it was my last year which was a mistake because every single tournament was a freaking tear-jerker,&quot; she added. &quot;Serena did it her way, which was announcing in a very glamorous way on Vogue magazine, but then she is not accepting the losses, she is not accepting what comes with it which is saying goodbye.&quot;Williams has won just one match this season against Nuria Parrizas-Diaz in Toronto, while she has lost the other three to Harmony Tan (Wimbledon), Belinda Bencic (Toronto) and Emma Raducanu (Cincinnati). She will play her first-round match at the US Open on Monday night against Danka Kovinic of Montenegro.
