TORONTO - Serena Williams rallied to avoid a stunning upset and secure a 1-6 6-3 6-3 semi-final win over Czech qualifier Marie Bouzkova at the Rogers Cup on Saturday, setting up a title showdown with local teenager Bianca Andreescu.
Bouzkova quickly went up a double-break for a 4-1 lead and sealed the first set in 29 minutes but Williams quickly made the necessary adjustments and got her first break of the match to go ahead 4-3 in the second before forcing a decider. Williams arrived in Toronto hoping to get plenty of hardcourt matches in before going for a record-equaling 24th career Grand Slam title at the Aug. 26-Sept. 8 U.S. Open.
