It has been four years since Serena Williams made it to the final of a United States Open, and so much has happened in that time. She won five other Grand Slam titles over those years, married and, best of all, became a mother.
The only thing that seemed to elude her on the tennis court was another Open title. She has six already, but one more will break a tie with Chris Evert for the most by a woman, and will also draw her even with Margaret Court with 24 major singles titles.
Williams got back to an Open final by dominating Anastasija Sevastova, 6-3, 6-0, under the closed roof at Arthur Ashe Stadium.
