World No.1 Serena Williams today Sunday September 8th claimed her fifth
US Open crown and 17th career grand slam singles title after beating
world No. 2 Victoria Azarenka with a 7-5 6-7(6) 6-1.
This victory makes Serena the oldest US Open women's winner since tennis turned
professional 45 years ago, eclipsing Australian Margaret Court, who was
31 years when she won the title in 1973.
Williams has now won 17 Grand Slam singles titles, moving her to within
one of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert, and seven short of Margaret
Court's record total of 24.
Big congrats to Serena.
