A year after defeating Victoria Azarenka in the New York final, Serena Williams will defend her U.S. Open title by beating her rival once again.

Both women are playing at a high level right now, so the 2013 U.S. Open final should be as entertaining as last year's.

Last year's final was incredible. Williams won 6–2, 2–6, 7–5. Azare...
