Match to Watch

No. 1 Serena Williams vs. No. 19 Madison Keys

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 04:  Serena Williams of the United States returns a shot to Bethanie Mattek-Sands of the United States during their Women's Singles Third Round Match on Day Five of the 2015 U.S. Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis C

Now that Mattek-Sands made Williams look at least somewhat vulnerable, the march to a fifth straight Grand Slam title is officially a gauntlet, not a procession leading to a coronation.

Williams dropped the first set to Mattek-Sands 3-6, but she maintained it was her opponent's stellar play and not her own failings that left her vulnerable Friday.

"I'm not trying to live on the edge," she said, according to ESPN.com's Greg Garber. "I don't think I came out too slow, I just think Bethanie played really well."

Williams took over with her powerful serve, winning 28 of 32 first-service points in the second and third sets, per USOpen.orgThat devastating serve alone would run a number of top players off the court, but Keys has the power and guile to handle Williams' best.

NEW YORK, NY - SEPTEMBER 02:  Madison Keys of the United States celebrates after defeating Tereza Smitkova of the Czech Republic during their Women's Singles Second Round match on Day Three of the 2015 US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis

The 20-year-old defeated No. 15 Agnieszka Radwanska in straight sets Friday to book a date with Williams. She showed off her own strong serve in that match, smashing seven aces to Radwanska's goose egg in that category, per USOpen.org.

And as ESPNW.com's Melissa Isaacson notes, Keys has the strength to combat Williams if the match devolves into a display of quick points and power tennis:

"

In one of the more amazing, and somewhat buried, statistics in the tournament, Keys, at 5-feet-10, is the second-hardest hitter at the US Open among men and women, with an average groundstroke speed (going into Saturday) of 74 mph. (David Goffin is first at 76 mph.)

Serena, who is an inch shorter than Keys, is hitting her groundies at 67 mph, tied for fourth among the women, behind Keys, Camila Giorgi and Venus.

"

Keys is an ascendant star in the sport, but this is Williams' tournament to lose. If Keys has any advantage, it's the element of unfamiliarity. Williams has faced her only once, beating her in straight sets in the semifinals of the 2015 Australian Open. Williams dominates the top competition, but she occasionally struggles against unfamiliar, less-heralded opponents.

This match will likely go to three sets again, but Williams won't end up in quite as much trouble as she did against Mattek-Sands. The calendar Grand Slam will survive another day.
