First set: *Williams 1-3 Andreescu (*denotes next server)
Andreescu falls behind love-15 on her serve, but rattles off four quick points for the comfortable hold. Williams chips in her seventh and eighth unforced errors. She looks every bit as composed before this pro-Williams crowd of more than 23,000 as she has throughout her run to today’s final.
