Serena Williams se plasirala u finale US Opena rutinskom pobjedom nad Elinom Svitolinom 6:3, 6:1 u setovima i tako zakazala duel protiv kanadske teniserke Biance Vanesse Andreescu.
Williams je na taj način ostvarila 101. pobjedu na US Openu u karijeri i izjednačila rekord legendarne Chris Evert, a ukoliko u finalu slavi postat će najuspješnija teniserka u historiji na takmičenju u New Yorku.
With her 6-1, 6-0 win over Wang Qiang, Serena Williams becomes the 4th player, male or female, to win 100 matches at a single major joining Martina Navratilova, Chris Evert and Roger Federer.
