Well she, despite her age, has the strength and form of a youngster and can withstand anyone who dares to play her and she comes out winning. She has moved to the US Open final for the third straight year without any real threat from any of her opponents - the last one was Na Li, who was shown the exit 6-0, 6-3.
In the second semi final on Friday, Victoria Azarenka, the world no.2 from Belarus also did not find Italian F. Pennetta any threat to her place in the Final by beating Pennetta 6-4, 6-2.
So that makes the fiinal pair - world no.1 and the defending champion against world no.2 from Belarus. This year, this is rather unusual for a different finalist facing Serena as normally it is Russian Maria Sharapova who moves up the ladder brilliantly each each only to be over awed by Serena and losiing to her so very easily.
But this year, it is Azarenka - eight years younger to Serena, who has played against Serena sixteen times, winning only thrice. But their last encounter at Cincinnati this year was different. Azarenka beat Serena in the final 2-6 6-2 7-6(6).
So this poses a miillion dollars question: Would azarenka let Serena defend her title?
