Serena Williams and Caroline Wozniacki are set to play the doubles final at the ASB Classic on Sunday, while in singles semifinals they had mixed results, with the American needing just 44 minutes to reach the title match, while the soon-to-be-retiring Dane suffered a bagel in the third set.
The top-seeded Williams blitzed past compatriot Amanda Anisimova, ranked 25th in the world, 6-1 6-1 and got another chance to win her first title since becoming a mom. The 23-time Grand Slam champion’s spotless performance included five aces, zero double faults, 68% first serves, 77% first serves won, 75% second serves won, and perfect 5/5 break point conversion.
