Australians Samantha Stosur and Scott Draper are the other finalists in today's mixed doubles championship.

SHOPPING, PERHAPS

It was her first Grand Slam singles win since Wimbledon 2003, and Serena Williams wasn't quite sure how to mark the occasion.

"I don't ever celebrate," Williams said after her 2-6, 6-3, 6-0 win over Lindsay Davenport.

"When I first won the US Open [1999], I went to the movies [she saw Sixth Sense]. Maybe I'll go get something -- I'm not heavy on alcohol, so that won't be part of the agenda. Like I said, I'm not big on celebrations. Maybe I should be."

In an earlier television interview, however, she admitted she might go shopping.
