Who will stand in Serena Williams’ way? Not an 86th-ranked Russian challenger playing in just her second US Open. And certainly not one hobbled by injury.

Williams, the dominant world No. 1 who, at 33, is attempting to achieve history by becoming the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to win all four Slams in a calendar year, didn’t have time to feel any nerves on opening night in Arthur Ashe Stadium. Williams launched her run toward that milestone in brutal fashion, trouncing an injured Vitalia Diatchenko, 6-0, 2-0 (ret).

Quien se metio en el camino de Serena, no fue la Rusa clasificada 86 en el ranking mundial primera rival de la numero uno del mundo..

y es que Williams domino con sus 33 años los intentos de su rival en apenas su segundo torneo US Open por evitar que Serena se convierta en la primera desde Steffi Graf en 1988 en ganar todos los Grand Slamd del calendario. pero los nervios y de una noche maravilloso de apertura en el Arthur Ashe Stadium no la dejaron..Serena se puso rapidamente 6-0 en el primer set en solo 21 minutos y estaba 2-0 en el segundo cuando una lesion obligo a Vitalia Diatchenko a decir hasta aqui llegue. se retiro y Serena avanzo de forma tranquila y categorica….
