Azarenka is overcome by emotion after reaching her first Grand Slam final in seven years, Williams was in sparkling form as she took the opening set 6-1 but she struggled afterwards. The comments below have not been moderated. Such is her ability. Williams, by contrast, had survived three-set battles against Sloane Stephens, Maria Sakkari and Tsvetana Pironkova but crushed any suggestion of vulnerability in a pulsating start. Said Williams: "I just think with the pressure and everything that I felt, like I just needed to be perfect.
Head To Head.
Azarenka, a two-time runner-up at Flushing Meadows, will face 2018 winner Naomi Osaka in Saturday's final. After three mothers landed in the quarterfinals at a grand slam for the first time in the Open Era -- Tsvetana Pironkova was the other and gave Williams all she could handle Wednesday -- two moms are meeting in a grand slam semifinal for the first time. I always feel like I'm not perfect unless I'm perfect. Williams was not helped by a jarred ankle early in the deciding set that required heavy strapping and her quest to equal Margaret Court's record of 24 grand slam singles titles goes on. But it was Azarenka who found another level in the end, sealing the second set 6-3 with 12 winners and remarkably just one unforced error in the entire set. When Azarenka won the 2013 Australian Open, no one would have predicted that come 2020 the Belarussian would be limited to two majors. Groeneveld is picking 2018 winner Naomi Osaka to get the better of surging maiden grand slam semifinalist Jennifer Brady in the other last four pairing. The very fact that Azarenka had reached the last four was a testament to her phenomenal character after taking a hiatus from the game while she was pregnant with her first child. However, Williams is 11-0 versus Azarenka in grand slams and Olympics and holds an 18-4 record overall. And I honestly hope that it will be a Serena-Osaka final.
