The attack on calling the record win of 24 grand slam titles to American Serena Williams will not work again. The campaign of the tennis legend at the US Open ended in the semifinals, where she lost to Belarus Viktoria Azarenková 6: 1, 3: 6, 3: 6. The second finalist was the Japanese Naomi Osaka, who defeated the home Jennifer Brady 7: 6, 3: 6, 6: 3.

Azarenka reached the US Open final for the third time in her career, and in both cases she lost the title battle to Serena Williams, whom she had never beaten in grand slam tournaments.
But this time the American only had the upper hand in the introductory set, which she clearly mastered. Azarenka, the eight-final winner of Karolína Muchová, reversed the course of the match. At the beginning of the third set, Williams’s health problems were also recorded on her cards, and she had to have her injured ankle treated.
