In other words, when a chair umpire announces that Serena has won a game, it’s, “Game, Mrs....

Williams, a 23-time major winner, has won the US Open a record six times....

She did it again in Singapore, dispatching Halep 6-3, 6-0 just four days after a group-stage game between the pair in which Halep lost two games and handed Williams her heaviest defeat for 16 years.
