Serena has the potential to become the first player since Steffi Graf in 1988 to collect all four Grand Slam titles in a calendar year. And if she wins, that would be her fourth U.S. Open in a row, and seventh overall — she would equal Graf with 22 major championships, the most in the professional era and second-most ever behind Margaret Court’s 24.
