NEW YORK — On the morning after she made history by winning her 308th career Grand Slam singles match, Serena Williams didn’t sleep in at her hotel.
Instead, the soon-to-be 35-year-old was the first one on the practice courts at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, preparing for a run toward her 23rd Grand Slam title.
Williams, the top seed, will meet No. 5 Simona Halep in the quarterfinals at 7 p.m. on Wednesday in Arthur Ashe Stadium.
“Serena Williams right now is playing for Grand Slam titles, she’s playing to make history, she’s playing to be No. 1,” six-time US Open champion Chris Evert said Tuesday on ESPN.
