The womens singles finallists have been decided, and it will be Jelena Jankovic to take on Serena
Williams in the 2008 decider.
After nearly 2 weeks of sunshine, the weather began to close in; and thunderstorms were rolling
towards Flushing Meadows during the matches. But the rain stayed away just long enough for the
semi finals to be determinied.
Jelena Jankovic found Elena Dementieva to be a determined opponent, and found the services
breaks hard to come by; but one break in each set was enough to progress.
Serena Williams had an easy time in a lopsided semi final against Dinara Safina. In her biggest
match to date, Safina found the pressure too much for her, while the experienced Williams wasted
no time in demolishing the Russian's game to progress through to the final.
The mens doubles title was on the line, and the Bryan brothers got up after an enthralling struggle
against Lukas Diouhy and Leander Paes. The USA brothers were able to step up a gear when it
mattered, taking out both tiebreaks for a straight sets win.
