Justin Anderson Jersey .com) - Guess whos back, back again? Josh Gordons back, tell a friend. MASON, Ohio -- Serena
Williams did enough to get a hard-fought victory. Williams earned a sloppy 2-6,
6-2, 6-4 win over Caroline Wozniacki on Saturday to reach the final of the
Western & Southern Open. The top-seeded Williams bounced back from losing
her first set of the tournament and committing 41 unforced errors, 20 more than
Wozniacki, to beat the 12th-seeded Dane for the eighth time in nine career
matches. In the first mens semifinal, sixth-seeded David Ferrer earned his first
trip to the tournament final in 11 appearances with a 6-3, 6-2 win over unseeded
Julien Benneteau. Williams had to shake off a tight lower back before turning
her game around, she said. "It was definitely feeling super tight in the match,"
she said. "Thats when I really relaxed, to be honest. By then I was able just to
go for more shots and come to the net more and just kind of just not have
anything to lose." She also tried to shorten points with booming serves, leading
to getting just 58 per cent of her serves in play. "I just had to go for rockets
because I wasnt feeling great," she said. "I thought, Listen, Im going to go out
and just try to hit aces and see what happens. It started working for me. I was
like, OK. Hopefully my arm will be OK tomorrow. Well see." Williams and
Wozniacki both struggled with their serves, leading to a combined 15 service
breaks, including the first five games of the third set. Wozniacki was broken in
eight of nine service games in one stretch and connecteed on just 54 per cent of
her first serves.
Jose Juan Barea Jersey. "I didnt get many first serves in," Wozniacki said. "When I did, they werent placed very well. Its
frustrating, because you lose a set 6-4 in the third and you only hold serve
once. "I actually broke Serena three times in the set. I dont think that happens
very often to her either, so, you know, you feel like youre there and my all
game was there. "I was fighting. I was running. I was trying to take the ball
early. I was returning well. Then my serve comes around and I cant seem to hold
serve. Its frustrating thing when youre out there on the court." Williams has
never won the championship in five previous appearances. She lost a third-set
tiebreaker to Victoria Azarenka last year. Williams will play the winner of
Saturday nights match between fifth-seeded Maria Sharapova and ninth-seeded Ana
Ivanovic for the championship on Sunday. With the win, Williams also clinched
the U.S. Open Series womens title. Williams has won it three of the past four
years and will attempt to set another record for the largest payout in tennis
history at the U.S. Open -- $4 million ($3 million for winning the U.S. Open and
a $1 million bonus for winning the U.S. Open as the series champion). The
two-time defending U.S. Open champion won both the U.S. Open Series title and
the U.S. Open last year. She is the only woman to win the US Open Series bonus
challenge three times (2011, 2013, 2014). No other woman has won it more than
once.
