Serena Williams is back on the field, training herself. She said, “I can’t just sit at home doing nothing; my body won’t rest.”

Serena Williams has another date with tennis history, and this one is infused with urgency. If she is going to tie Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam event singles titles — a feat that has eluded her in three finals since she returned to competition following the birth of her daughter —

 

she will have to do it soon, while she’s free of injuries and before Canada’s Bianca Andreescu gains enough big-match experience to become even more formidable than she already is.

 

Compton, California-raised Williams will vie for a share of the Court’s record on Saturday when she faces Andreescu, who wasn’t born when Williams won the first of her six US Open titles in 1999. Williams’ 6-3, 6-1 semi-final demolition of Elina Svitolina on Thursday was stunning,

 

 

and not only because fifth-seeded Svitolina hadn’t lost a set while reaching her second straight Grand Slam semi-final or because Williams, 38, won most of the long rallies against her 24-year-old Ukrainian opponent.

 

It was striking because No 8 seed Williams displayed the highest level of both her power and her touch, because she went to the net — where she won 11 of 16 points — and because she hit 34 winners to 11 for an outclassed Svitolina. “To be in yet another final, it seems honestly crazy

 

 

.

But I don’t really expect too much less,” Williams said after she equalled Chris Evert’s record of 101 singles victories at the US Open. “I think today was solid. It definitely wasn’t my best tennis.”

 

Andreescu, 19, trailed 2-5 in the second set of her semi-final against Belinda Bencic before pulling out a 7-6 (3), 7-5 win that launched her into her first Grand Slam event final and cemented her reputation as a fighter. Andreescu, who had come back from a set down against Elise Mertens in the quarter finals, was relentless Thursday in recording 40 winners to 16 for Bencic. “It’s just surreal,

 

” said Andreescu, who won her lone career match-up against Williams when a back injury led Williams to retire during the first set of the Rogers Cup final last month in Toronto. “I really don’t know what to say. It’s a dream come true. It’s crazy.”

After dropping out of last year’s U.S. Open and announcing she was suffering from Sjögren’s Syndrome, a happy and healthy Venus Williams made a triumphant return to the New York Grand Slam tournament last week with her new boyfriend at her side.
