Serena Williams caught up with Chris Evert on Thursday night at the United States Open, claiming her 101st singles victory and doing it in deeply convincing fashion.
With the win, Williams advanced to the Open final on Saturday, when she will try, once again, to catch another great of the game: Margaret Court.
Williams, the No. 8 seed, certainly looked ready for the challenge after her 6-3, 6-1 demolition of the fifth-seeded Elina Svitolina in the semifinals.
She has overwhelmed so many worthy opponents under the lights and under pressure in her career, which has stretched across three decades.
