In order to reach her ninth US Open final, the legendary player Serena Williams has trashed Anastasija Sevastova in merely 66 minutes. After the game was concluded, Williams set out a warning to her rivals who previously had felt that her comeback would be short-lived. She told Tom Rinaldi, the on-court interviewer that “This is just the beginning.” He even said that “I’m only a few months in and really looking forward to the rest of the year and next year.”
People were not sure what to expect from Williams after she makes a return from giving birth to her daughter Alexis Olympia on 1st of September 2017. Her game was quite patchy in the tournaments she played before 2018’s US Open, and on the other hand, her movements were sluggish as well. But this Thursday night, the Tennis legend rediscovered her top-notch form when she displayed her most compelling game ever since she was on maternity leave.
Anastasija Sevastova said that “it was touch for sure.” She even came out with a game plan which involved slicing the ball back deep as frequently as possible, and she was also waiting for Williams to miss. This was the same approach by Roberta Vince is the semi-final three years prior to 2018’s US Open, with the help of this strategy, Williams was broken off in her opening service game and found that she was trailing 2-0.
After her 6-3, 6-0 victory Williams told Rinaldi that “I’ve been working hard on my volleys.” She was also seen acknowledging that she knows volley as she has won a few double championships. She said, “I just usually only come in only to shake hands.” Serena won 13 major and three gold medals when she teamed up with her sister Venus Williams. But it the singles that are now in the everyone’s focus.
