Serena Williams is just four matches of US Open tennis away from a first Calendar Grand Slam in over 25 years as she squares up against fellow American Madison Keys in the early evening game on Arthur Ashe. Keys could prove a real test for Williams, who’s looked a little shaky in both of her previous ties: “She has a good return. She has a heavy shot. She’s moving well,” Williams said of Keys, and she’s not wrong. Keys’ groundstrokes so far this championship have actually averaged 7mph faster than Williams’, while her fastest serve at Flushing Meadow this week is only a couple mph shy of the woman who, in coach Patrick Mouratoglou’s opinion, has the greatest serve ever to grace the women’s game.
