Will Serena continue record-equalling Grand Slams chase?
Serena Williams of the United States reacts in the third set during her Women's Singles semifinal match against Victoria Azarenka of Belarus on Day 11 of the 2020 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Centre on September 10, 2020 in the Queens borough of New York City.
Many commentators suggested that this week at Flushing Meadows presented her with her best opportunity due to a depleted field caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
A bevy of top players, including world number one Ashleigh Barty, world number two Simona Halep and Canadian Bianca Andreescu -- who stunned Williams in last year's final -- skipped the event because of coronavirus concerns or injury.
Williams fell at the penultimate hurdle to a rejuvenated Azarenka who bounced back from a 6-1 defeat in the first set to take the next two 6-3, 6-3.

Serena Williams plans to dust herself down after the disappointment of another failed attempt at a record-equalling 24th Grand Slam singles title and continue her chase at Roland Garros this month.
