Open women's stars to battle for season's supremacy

Reigning Grand Slam champions Serena Williams, Maria Sharapova and Victoria Azarenka are locked in a battle for the US Open title and the season's global bragging rights in women's tennis.

All three will try to claim the $1.9 million top prize and their second major title of the year in Saturday night's championship match at Arthur Ashe Stadium, where Williams has won three crowns and Sharapova took the 2006 title.

"I really want it bad. I'm going to do absolutely everything I have to and give it all," Azarenka said. "First time being in the US Open semifinals is incredible feeling for me."
