women's final
No. 1 Serena Williams vs. No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki
When: 3:30 p.m. Sunday, Ch. 4
Head-to-head: Williams leads 8-1.
The skinny: Williams is seeking her third straight U.S. Open title, a feat that hasn't been accomplished since Chris Evert in 1978. An 18th major singles title overall would tie her with Evert and Martina Navratilova for the most all-time. She has not dropped a set in this tournament.
The quote: "I hope that I'll go out there and just go for it. I have nothing to lose." — Wozniacki
