Williams won 6-3 6-0 to set up a mouthwatering clash with Japan’s Naomi Osaka on Saturday’s.

The 36 year old American will compete in her 31st Grand Slam final and ninth US Open final.

Osaka on her part had defeated Madison Keys 6-2,6-4.

“It is really incredible. A year ago I was literally fighting for my life at the hospital after having the baby,” said Williams in her post match conference.

“Every day I step out on this court I am so grateful to have an opportunity to play this sport.”

“So no matter what happens in any match, I already feel like I have already won.”

A win for the Williams will see her equal Margaret Court’s record of 24 Grand Slam singles titles.
