US Open: Time, TV, how to watch women's final between Serena Williams and Bianca Andreescu
Serena Williams will go for a share of history Saturday afternoon when she plays Bianca Andreescu in the US Open women's final.
If Williams wins her 24th Grand Slam singles title, she would match the record of Margaret Smith Court.
Williams, 37, is back in the final a year after she lost to Naomi Osaka. Osaka dominated for her first Grand Slam title, but the focus was on penalties to Williams. She was given a warning when chair umpire Carlos Ramos said she was being coached during the match, then later lost a point and a game when she protested.
Andreescu,19, is playing in her fourth Grand Slam and had never been beyond the second round until this tournament.
