This is incorrect. Vapour above the liquid water can equal to saturated vapour pressure for given temperature within the accuracy of measurements. Matter of fact it can be less or can be more - depends how you measure. When it is more, people usually blame sub-micron droplets. When it is equal, the relative humidity is 100% - this is what you get in head space of closed bottle with water. It takes 20-30 minutes to achieve equilibrium.
