Osaka defeated American Madison Keys, last year's US Open finalist, 6-2 6-4 in the US Open semi-final yesterday to create history for her country.

This is great for Japanese tennis, but now she faces Godzilla!!! Serena looks like she's fully back in form after her pregnancy.

Indeed. Serena is the biggest test for any player.
