Tsvetana Pironkova on the other hand has exceeded all expectations and certainly surprised everyone by making it into the Last 8.

Pironkova, the unseeded Bulgarian has surprised everyone at the Us Open this year

Serena Williams appears to be a sure favourite to overcome Tsvetana Pironkova and win the match called the Battle of the Mothers. But however, Pironkova would be backing herself to defeat Serena with the form she has been in. Moreover, Serena Williams can be vulnerable at times which we have seen in the recent times with her last grandslam win coming at the Australian Open in 2017.

Prediction- Serena Williams to win in 3 sets.
