Women’s US Open semi-finals tips: Williams and Keys to contest final?

A preview of both semi-finals

We’ve hit crunch time at Flushing Meadows as the women’s draw has been whittled down to the final four.

Serena Williams takes on Anastasija Sevastova, while Naomi Osaka clashes with Madison Keys. The Coral News Team preview both semi-finals, with odds and tips included.

Serena Williams (-6.5 games) to beat Anastasija Sevastova – 7/4

Williams is now just two wins away from a record 24th Grand Slam title. And she’s also on for being the oldest woman to ever win the US Open.

The 36-year-old has been in particularly dominant form over the last couple of weeks in New York. In fact, Williams has dropped just one set in the previous five rounds.

She blitzed Karolina Pliskova in straight sets and it feels like the US superstar finally has the bit between her teeth now with history in sight.

Sevastova is a fine player in her own right, too. And the Latvian has already knocked out some huge names in Sloane Stephens and Elina Svitolina. However, this is her first ever Slam semi and the pressure could be too much here.

Williams has had a fairly straightforward passage and should have too much experience, power, and quality.

Madison Keys to beat Naomi Osaka, Set Betting 2-1 – 11/4

The second semi-final between Keys and Osaka looks like it could be an absolute thriller.
