The 30-year-old tennis star lifted her 15th Grand Slam singles crown on Sunday night after beating world number one, Victoria Azarenka of Belarus
Serena Williams is now the first player aged over 30 to win the US Open women's singles since Martina Navratilova in 1987.
Two points from defeat, Williams suddenly regained her composure and her strokes, coming back to win the last four games and beat Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 on Sunday night for her fourth championship at Flushing Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title overall.
Serena..."I honestly can't believe I won. I really was preparing my runner-up speech, because I thought, 'Man, she's playing so great,"' Williams said during the trophy presentation after the 2-hour, 18-minute match, adding: "I'm really shocked."
