Giants RB Saquon Barkley became Serena Williams' number one fan and he couldn't get enough

New York Giants running back Saquon Barkley was the most intense fan of all while watching the third-round showdown between Serena Williams and Ajla Tomljanovic in the 2022 US Open.

Barkley was locked in throughout the match, and he couldn't even take his eyes off the game. He was so focused that he even mimicked tennis racket movements and swung at the air several times. The official US Open account even went on to post a video of Barkley watching the game captioned: "Saquon is all of us right now".

The Giants star knew how important every hit was, especially with Williams' retiring after her US Open stint. It was clear that Barkley idolized Williams as he grew up watching her play tennis. He wasn't going to miss this match for anything in the world. When asked about it later, Barkley said, "I just love her intensity and passion for the game. She's an icon and I wanted to watch her one last time." US Open fans can all learn a thing or two from Barkley on how to enjoy and appreciate tennis matches.

NFL Week 1 is right around the corner

The Giants will travel to Nashville on Week 1 to face the Titans. Undoubtedly, Saquon Barkley will head to that game with a chip on his shoulder. The Giants RB has suffered injuries in his first seasons with the team that have affected his consistency on the field. After watching Serena bow out in the most heroic fashion, hopefully.

If he can stay healthy, Barkley has a chance to be one of the best players in the league. He is an incredible talent, with the ability to make plays both as a runner and receiver. In addition, Barkley is still just 24 years old, so he should only continue to improve. However, given his history of injuries, it is fair to wonder if Barkley will ever be able to stay on the field for a full season. Only time will tell, but regardless of what happens, Saquon Barkley is sure to be one of the most exciting players to watch in the 2022 NFL season.
