No fans. Light applause. The rumble of trucks on the highway. It’s an unusual U.S. Open, writes jasongay — but Serena Williams is back in the semifinals.
QUEENS, N.Y.—We’ve seen this film starring Serena Williams many times. Playing tennis versus a lesser-known opponent, Williams starts slow, almost sleepily, as if she didn’t have a proper morning coffee, and isn’t ready to break out the Full Serena.
