Serena Williams will play against Naomi Osaka in the final of the US Open on Saturday.

Osaka became the first Japanese grand slam finalist when she beat last year’s runner up, Madison Keys,  6-2 6-4 in the semi-finals.

Earlier Williams had rumbled over Latvian Anastasia Sevastova 6-3 6-0.

Williams, who has had a tough comeback road, with health issues following the birth of her daughter a year ago, says her best is yet to come.

“Honestly it is remarkable, and I couldn’t have predicted this at all. I’ve just been working really hard, like I said this is just the beginning of my return, I’m still on my way up, there’s still much more that I plan on doing, you don’t reach your best, you know, couple months in and that’s kind of where I am now, so I just feel like there’s a lot of growth still to go in my game and that’s actually the most exciting part”.
