Serena Williams defeated Anastasija Sevastova of Latvia to reach her ninth US Open final. Williams took just 66 minutes to win the semi-final 6-3, 6-0. Williams said after the match, “It's honestly really incredible…A year ago I was fighting for my life in the hospital after I had the baby.” She battled life-threatening blood clots after a difficult delivery. She also added, “…every time I step out on this court I'm so grateful that I have the opportunity to play this sport. To come this far so fast. I'm really looking forward to the possibilities.” Sevastova, who had beaten defending champion Sloane Stephens in the quarterfinals, said, “I shouldn't have gotten broken twice in the first set…When she's in front it's tough to play…when somebody serves 123 miles per hour ace there's not much you can do."
20-year-old Naomi Osaka won her semi-final against Madison Keys 6-2, 6-4 to enter her first Grand Slam final. Osaka fought off 13 breakpoint opportunities that Keys created and won three breakpoints. Keys said, “every time I had a break point, it was an ace or a winner or something like that.” Osaka said, “It still feels really weird because I’ve never beaten Madison before…she’s a really good player.” She broke Keys’ serve early in the second set and eventually took it 6-4.
Osaka will face six-time champion Serena Williams in the final on Saturday.
The fifth Test match between India and England begins today at The Oval in London. England have named an unchanged squad for this match.

An unchanged squad means Moeen Ali will retain his place in the side, and might even bat at number three. The final match in this Test series will also be Alastair Cook’s final Test match as an England player.
