“It just shows how tough moms are,” said Serena Williams. “Whenever you can birth a baby, then honestly you can do anything.” Williams rallied to the semifinals where she will meet fellow mom Victoria Azarenka! USOpen
Serena Williams battled into the semifinals of the US Open where she will meet fellow mom Victoria Azarenka, as Daniil Medvedev and Dominic Thiem booked their places in the last 4 of the men's draw.
"Can it get any better?" Azarenka asked after booking her place in the last 4 with a 6-1, 6-0 demolition of 16th-seeded Mertens on Wednesday, September 9 . A sluggish start saw the American lose the first at 4-6, but she fought back to take the next two 6-3, 6-2, in 2 hours and 12 minutes inside the Arthur Ashe Stadium.Williams smashed 20 aces, the most she has had in 8 years, taking her tally for the tournament to 64 so far.
Azarenka said she found it"hard to accept losses" when she was young and at the top of her game, but was now benefiting from a more philosophical attitude."It took me a long road to come here with a lot of struggles, a lot of understanding, forcing me to find this route, this path, if you can say that. But I'm here and I'm happy."
Medvedev, 24, smashed 16 aces and won 89%of first-serve points. He made 75% of returns to Rublev's 54%.
