Serena Williams reaches US Open final

Defending champion Serena Williams stormed into US open final after beating fifth-seeded Chinese Li Na  6-0 6-3 on Friday night at the Arthur Ashe Stadium. Like last year, Serena Williams  will now play second seeded Victoria Azarenka in the final at the Flushing Meadows.

“It was a good match. It was tough at the end. I got a little nervous but I was able to close it out,” the 31-year-old Serena Williams said after the match.

“To hear constantly, ‘Go Serena, go Serena,’ it is really a pleasure. I hear young voices and older voices and it really makes me feel so special,” added Williams.
If Serena wins then it would be her fifth U.S. Open title and her 17th career grand slam singles title.

In the other semi final world number two Azarenka reached the final with a 6-4 6-2 victory over unseeded Italian Flavia Pennetta.  

“I’m so excited. It’s been a long road to the final. It’s an amazing feeling, to fight for the trophy,” said Azarenka.
