Serena Williams stands on the brink of history.
With 23 Grand Slam singles titles to her name, Williams has been at the precipice of tying Margaret Court's record of 24, falling in her last two major finals. On Saturday, the No. 8-seeded Williams will have another chance to tie the record with a win against 15-seed Bianca Andreescu in the 2019 U.S. Open .
Williams made no mistakes in her path to the finals, winning her semifinal match against Elina Svitolina in straight sets , 6-3, 6-1. It was her fifth straight match that she won in only two sets. She has only gone to three sets once in the tournament: in the second round when she lost the first set to Caty McNally 7-5. She promptly won the next two sets 6-3, 6-1.

Andreescu has taken an unconventional path to the finals , and it certainly hasn't been easy. She defeated 13-seed Belinda Bencic in straight sets , but it took a 7-3 tiebreaker point to win a 6-6 game in the first set and a 7-5 win in the second set. Bencic had earlier pulled off the upset of the tournament, eliminating top-seeded Naomi Osaka in straight sets in the Round of 16.
The 19-year-old Canadian had a short-lived experience in the U.S. Open last year when she lost in the first round of qualifying at Flushing Meadows. In August, she won the Canadian Open, becoming the first Canadian woman since 1969 to achieve the feat.
