NEW YORK - Already regarded as the greatest women’s player ever to pick up a tennis racquet, Serena Williams’s legacy is already assured but the record equaling 24th Grand Slam that would help build statistical proof remains frustratingly out of reach.
That victory not only raised questions about whether Williams would ever get beyond 23 Grand Slam titles, many also viewed 19-year-old Andreescu’s win as a changing of the guard in women’s tennis.Four times now, twice at Wimbledon and at the U.S. Open Williams has come agonizingly close to that 24th Grand Slam only to fall at the final hurdle.The next time Williams can attempt to equal Court’s record at the Australian Open in January she would be 38, the climb to the summit ever steeper.
But no amount of support, royal or otherwise, could lift Williams to the level she needed on Saturday, Andreescu breaking the former world number one to open the final and never letting her opponent get her nose in front.
