She has been slowly improving over the years and playing better as big results finally started coming last year. She reached the semifinal at the US Open where she played great but now she took things even further. It was not easy for Brady who recapped the match with:

“I came out a little strange today. I was super excited but at the same time pretty flat-footed. My legs felt fresh but at the same time were not moving. I felt like I was stuck in mud. I didn't pick up my intensity until the beginning of the third set.”

In the final, she will face Naomi Osaka who defeated Serena Williams in the first semifinal. It will be a reprisal of the US Open semifinal last year where Osaka came out on top after a hard-fought victory in three sets. Recently Osaka said it was one of the best matches she ever played. On the upcoming semifinal Brady briefly said:

“I’m obviously pretty excited to be in the final. It’s an incredible achievement. I think it will be a really tough match. Obviously, she (Osaka) has won a few Grand Slams. I think it’ll be a really good match.”
