Below is all the information you need to watch the finals.
The 28-year-old, however, is expected to cap her new crown with a second grand slam title in NY, to back up her maiden triumph at the Australian Open in January.
However, one of her few blips in 2016 came recently in Cincinnati when she went down 6-3 6-1 to Pliskova in the final.
After her win over Wozniacki, Kerber told Pam Shriver on the ESPN broadcast that she hopes to get revenge against Pliskova. “Before the match I felt a little bit like pressure, a bit nervous. That’s when I feel my proudest”, Williams said. I’ll do anything for getting the title.
“Fatigue had nothing to do with”, Williams said.
Although, Serena’s fan were completely disheartened after this defeat but Serena showed her maturity and gave the credit to the 10th seeded Karolina Pliskova for playing well in this encounter. There is always a chance in those two sets.
She also wasn’t having the notion that she was exhausted after playing her quarterfinal match on Wednesday.
Her serve is a weakness: She was broken while serving for the match against Wozniacki, for example, and lost three service games in the first set alone of her quarterfinal against 2015 runner-up Roberta Vinci. I was up a break. “And to be No. 1 in the world, it sounds fantastic”. “Even if I would have lost the second set, I would be ready for the third one”.
She also denied that the quarter-final match the day before, when she won against Simona Halep, left her exhausted for Thursday’s match.
“When you’re hampered you’re thinking of other things”, said the American, a six-time US Open champion. If I was exhausted, I need to find a new career.
The Czech star has never gone past the third round of a major tournament before and insists Williams’ injury should not take the gloss off her achievement. I think she’s been on tour for numerous years and she’s had some good wins.
At 4-4, Kerber kept her calm and ended a spectacular run with a love game.
Meanwhile, the Czech Republic player gets a chance to take out two world No. 1s in one tournament. She’s never giving up. Pliskova was quite surprised herself, saying she couldn’t believe she beat the former No. 1 Williams before adding “I mean, actually, I do believe it”.

“I mean, there is not more than to beat both sisters in one tournament in NY”, she said. But for some time, let her celebrated for beating the world No. seeded Serena Williams.
