Williams won her last grand slam tournament, the Australian Open in 2017. Then she became a mother. After returning to tennis, she played four finals (two at Wimbledon and two at the US Open), but they all lost.
The 31-year-old Azarenka is also a mother. The former number one in the world has fought beautiful duels with Williams in the past, but this is the first time she has defeated her rival in a grand slam tournament.
Level Azarenka shoots up
It didn’t look like it for a long time. Williams almost broke early in the second set, but from that moment on Azarenka’s level shot up. She won seven of the eight subsequent games from 2-1 and did not let Williams come back.
