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.
