NEW YORK - Twenty years after an improbable run at the age of 17 to her maiden U.S. Open victory, Serena Williams is running out of records to break.
Of course, winning on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday would also mean breaking Chris Evert’s record of 101 U.S. Open wins, and her record of six U.S. Open title championships. “The game has just changed, I think there’s so much more depth,” said Williams. “I think when I first started, you could win a lot of easy matches, then you’re in the quarterfinals, that’s when it starts to get a little more tough.Her return also holds significance in light of Williams’ controversy-fueled final last year against upstart Naomi Osaka, which prompted vociferous debate and promises of introspection from tournament organizers.
The mindset is reflective of her renewed concentration, with the six-times U.S. Open champion reiterating throughout the tournament the Spartan-like preparations she underwent to prepare for the stout talent at Flushing Meadows.After losing in straight sets at the Wimbledon final to Simona Halep, Williams said she “knew I need to work harder, just do better”.
