Aside from the one-on-one rivalry on court, both women have a member of the royal family rooting for them — Williams’s friend Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, and Halep favouring Kate, Duchess of Cambridge. Williams claimed after her semi-final romp over unseeded Czech Barbora Strycova that the Court landmark is not on her mind.“I actually didn’t think about it since because it’s really not about 24 or 23 or 25.“No matter what I do, I will always have a great career.
