Tennis champ Serena Williams is on a winning streak. Coming off a 2012 Olympic gold win in London in August, today Williams will square off against current world champ Victoria Azarenka at the US Open at Flushing Meadows after beating Italian Sara Errani, reports The Huffington Post.

On Friday Williams effortlessly beat out Azarenka, clocking a serve at over 80 mph. She enters todays finals with confidence and grace.

“I don’t have anything to lose. I feel like I’m going up against the most consistent and the best player this year, being Victoria Azarenka,” Serena said after her semifinal win. “I feel like I don’t have anything to lose, and it will be a good challenge for me.”

Go Serena!
