Ten grand slam competitions have gone by and Serena Williams hasn't won any new grand slam titles. Not that she needs to anymore, she already has 24 of it. It's just that we're not used to her having a long streak of time pass before she snags at least another slam.
Even with that telling statistic, she has reached 3 finals out of those ten grand slams and once again, here in NY, probably her strongest slam, she should be able to reach her 12 semi-final appearance here without any hitch.
She's already in the fourth round and only Ashleigh Barty can possibly prevent her from going deeper. The draw now has opened wide and Elina Svitolina looks like her most likely opponent in the semi's. In the finals, for now, it's either Bertens or Andreescu.
From those names, only Barty is the one with the grand slam pedigree. As for Osaka, she still has some players on her side of the draw that has a winning record over her, that's why she's not figuring well in this year's picks.
