Match of the Day: Serena Williams vs. Sloane Stephens

Williams and Stephens, the 2017 U.S. Open champion, will meet for the seventh time Saturday. While Williams holds a 5-1 advantage in those prior matches, the Americans haven't faced off since the 2015 French Open.

They've played each other in the U.S. Open once before, with the six-time tournament champion scoring a dominant 6-4, 6-1 straight-set victory in the 2013 round of 16.

Williams wasn't sharp leading up to the first major since the WTA Tour's first Grand Slam event since the resumption of play following the coronavirus pandemic. She went 3-2 in a pair of warm-up tournaments, and all of her victories went the three-set distance.

The 38-year-old Michigan native has started to showcase an uptick in form during the first week of the U.S. Open, though. She's scored convincing wins over Kristie Ahn and Margarita Gasparyan, racking up a combined 55 winners and 20 aces in four sets.

Williams understands the challenge Stephens presents despite her success in their past head-to-head battles.

"She plays so smooth," Williams told Wayne Coffey of USA Today. "She looks like she doesn't have much energy, and then—bam!—there's five winners. She's beaten me before, so she knows how to play well. It's not easy. I'm glad I had a tough match [against Gasparyan] to get me ready for that one."

Stephens has also advanced to the third round without dropping a set. It's a promising sign, as, like Williams, she'd struggled since the restart with opening-round losses in both the Top Seed Open and the Western & Southern Open in August.

Both stars have plenty of firepower, so this match will likely come down to which player can best limit their number of unforced errors.

Williams is the rightful favorite, but it wouldn't be a surprise to see the match go three sets before it's settled.
