US Open 2018: Serena Williams says she has a long way to go to win Flushing Meadows title

Serena Williams says she still has a "really long way to go" to win a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title at the US Open.

Williams plays Anastasija Sevastova in the semi-finals on Thursday and is the only major winner left in the draw.

A seventh US Open title would see the American equal Margaret Court's Grand Slam haul but Williams has lost her last two semi-finals in New York.

Williams, 36, also lost to Angelique Kerber in this year's Wimbledon final.

"I'd been a couple of steps away at the last Grand Slam, so I'm definitely not ahead of myself," Williams said.
