Serena Williams wins her sixth U.S. Open women’s single tennis title by
defeating Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 6-3 in just an hour and 15 minutes today
Sunday September 7th. This is Serena's 18th Grand Slam title.
World number one Serena Williams won her 18th Grand Slam title at last,
overpowering Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 6-3 in just an hour and 15 minutes yesterday
Sunday September 7th to capture her sixth US Open crown.
The world number one, shut out in the first three majors of the year, ended a year of waiting as she joined Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova on 18 majors -- trailing only the 22 of Steffi Graf on the Open era list and six behind the all-time record held by Margaret Court.
Williams, who turns 33 later this month, said the goal of an 18th Grand Slam had hung over her "because I was joining Chrissy and Martina, someone I never thought me, Serena Williams, would be in that name group.
"Who am I?" said Williams, who grinned with delight as Evert and Navratilova presented her with a gold bracelet bearing an "18" charm.
"I never thought you would mention my name with such greats and legends."
Williams lifted the trophy at Flushing Meadows for the third straight year, joining Evert as the only woman in the Open era to win three titles in a row and matching Evert's six US Open triumphs. She's officially a living sports legend. Congrats to her.
