Serena Williams and Angelique Kerber have already met in two Grand Slam finals in 2016, with the world No. 1 prevailing at Wimbledon following her defeat to the German at the Australian Open.

A repeat contest could be on the cards at the 2016 U.S. Open, with both women—the top ranked players in the world—having reached the semi-finals.

At Arthur Ashe Stadium in Flushing Meadows on Thursday, Williams, 34, will take on No. 10 seed Karolina Pliskova before world No. 2 Kerber faces a resurgent Caroline Wozniacki.

While Williams undoubtedly needed no more motivation than simply aiming for her 23rd Grand Slam singles title, her ambition to stay on top will surely give her even more drive to go all the way at the U.S. Open.



Standing in between Williams and a spot in a ninth U.S. Open final is Czech world No. 11 Pliskova.

The 24-year-old has had an impressive tournament, beating No. 17 seed Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova in the third round before edging out No. 6 seed Venus Williams in the fourth.
