They say the last mile of a race is the hardest. Those words ring true when you look at Serena’s quest for Grand Slam immortality. Williams fell 6-1 3-6 3-6 to former finalist Azarenka. Nice hitting from both ladies with Serena dominating the first. Azarenka broke in the 6th game of the second to take it to a decider. In the last action of the third set Azarenka hit a serve that looked wide at first glance. Williams appealed but hawkeye confirmed Azarenka’s passage to the final against Naomi Osaka of Japan
