Serena Dominates Sevastova to Reach U.S. Open Final
Serena Williams fell behind 0-2 in her U.S. Open semifinal to Anastasija Sevastova, a lethargic start that disappointed an Arthur Ashe crowd eager to support the 23-time major champion.
She righted the ship. Quickly.
Williams would go on to win 12 of the final 13 games in dominant fashion, winning 6-3, 6-0 to reach the U.S. Open final for the ninth time.
After missing a year to give birth to her daughter Olympia—and suffering from serious post-pregnancy health concerns—Williams has reached the final of the last two majors.
