From Jonathan Jurejko BBC Sport at Flushing Meadows Serena Williams says she has not thought about her defeat against Naomi Osaka in the US Open final of the past year as she moves again for a Grand Slam title. Even the American, 37, known as umpire Carlos Ramos a"thief" and a"liar" as he docked her a match amid outstanding arenas on Arthur Ashe Stadium. She meets Canadian Bianca Andreescu, 19, in this year's final on Saturday. On last year's last, Williams explained:"It hasn't really crossed my mind." While Andreescu is acting her first Grand Slam final for her main-draw debut, williams is rival in her US Open singles final after her victory in New York. When Williams won her first Grand Slam title here in 16, andreescu wasn't born. "I remember watching her when I was around 10. I saw her win most of her Grand Slam titles," Andreescu, '' 15th, stated. "I am convinced she is going to attract her A game. I'm going to attempt to bring a game. Hopefully, I figure, will the best player win." Couple of months ago, Williams was at the centre of one of their moments in tennis history in her way to some defeat by the Osaka of Japan. The house favourite launched a furious tirade afterwards he punished her for receiving training and smashing a racquet since she grew frustrated at the start of the set. That resulted in Ramos, who has not chaired a Williams match since, docking her a point and issuing the further punishment of a match's punishment for a tirade questioning his ethics. Since the New York crowd switched with boos to Ramos, A atmosphere created on Ashe. Williams has now vowed to talk in detail about the incident publicly because, although said she felt"disrespected by means of a sport I love" in a first-person piece published in American fashion magazine Harper's Bazaar in July. That meeting against Osaka, who had been left crying with despair after clinching her first Grand Slam win, was Williams' first US Open final because returning to the sport after the difficult birth of daughter Olympia a year before. Williams also lost a year's Wimbledon final against Angelique Kerber and has been defeated again in this year's final at the All England Club by Simona Halep. She has a fourth chance to win that elusive 24th big - her first since becoming a mom - and says she is ready to dispel any doubts about her ability. "There are a lot of things that I've learned in the past, but I just need to go out there, above all, most of all, just stay relaxed," she explained. "I think being on the courtroom is almost a tiny bit more relaxing than just hanging out having a two-year-old that is dragging you anywhere. I think that's sort of been a little useful." Williams is currently planning to equal the one time listing of 24 Grand Slam singles games of Australian Margaret Court by beating Andreescu, which will give her the opportunity to develop into the major winner at the Australian Open in January - at which a scene has been called after Court. Williams hasn't won a major since the 2017 Australian Open, when she was eight months pregnant. After losing at Wimbledon to an motivated Halep, Williams said she wasn't feeling since she awakens Court's tally, burdened by the burden of history. "It seems like every Grand Slam final I'm in lately, it's been an unbelievable effort to get there," Williams explained. "It might be interesting to observe how it would be under different circumstances." Williams fought going into Wimbledon but was injury-free at Flushing Meadows, while falling only one place on her way into the 35, looking sharp as powerful as ever. A win from China's 18th seed Wang Qiang lasted 44 minutes, while Allied fifth seed Elina Svitolina - anticipated to supply a challenging test - was overwhelmed in straight places. While Williams might expect to be competing at another Grand Slam final, her opponent Andreescu says it is"crazy" that she is going to be playing at Saturday's showpiece. She dropped in the first round of qualifying in Flushing Meadows and was ranked on earth outside of the top 200. But she's become the most talked on the planet after having a remarkable increase this year. Andreescu, whose Spartan parents Nicu and Maria emigrated to Canada in the 1990s, had played with matches that were tour-level . Ever since then she's won prestigious WTA Premier titles at Indian Wells and Toronto, climbing to 15th in the world consequently and raking in 1.79m of her 1.97m career prize money. Asked what her reaction would have been when someone told her a year ago she'd be facing Williams in the US Open final, she said:"I don't believe I'd have believed them. It is just insane what a year could perform. "If somebody would have said that a couple weeks ago, I think I would have believed them." Belief is not her assurance as having a killer forehand rated as one of the best in the game, as well exuding at a game which has the choice to pull against enemies apart. That fearlessness also shone through in her win over Swiss 13th seed Belinda Bencic in which she saved six break points in the opening set and fought back from 5-2 down in the second to win 7-6 (7-3) 7-5. "I think that it's just inside of me . I believe that it's just my passion for the sport, also," she said. "I hope a lot from myselfso I believe pressure also helps me do my best in matches." Andreescu has already earned six wins above top-10 gamers this season - Caroline Wozniacki, Svitolina, Kerber (twice), Kiki Bertens and Karolina Pliskova - although she also led by an early break before Williams retired from their Rogers Cup final in Toronto last month with a back injury. This run to the US Open means she has won 13 straight games and this season is matched by an extraordinary 44 of her 48. Another win will see her become the first teenager since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon old 17 in 27, to win their first Grand Slam singles title. She'd also match Monica Seles' list of winning a big at the Open age on only her fourth appearance in a Grand Slam main draw. "I have always dreamed of this moment ever since I was a tiny kid. However, I don't think many people would have really thought that it would develop into a reality," Andreescu said. "Being in the closing is really unique. Hopefully I can play just a little bit easier than I did at the semi-finals." Marion Bartoli, 2013 Wimbledon winner on BBC Radio 5 live I think Serena has been believing that extra little pressure in giving birth to Olympia which she did not have previously, as coming back . For me it comes down to the excess pressure she places on herself, on her shoulders. We are extremely close friends and we all talked at length about it after she dropped to Sofia Kenin at Roland Garros and for some reason she just can not get that pressure. She feels she must win this one, also it must be the one which she is going for to 24 and subsequently to 25. I think she will have the ability to realise that she needs to feel confident that she's the best player that it's not the proper mindset to possess.
