Serena Williams won the US Open after defeating Victoria Azarenka in three sets. It was a very closely fought final for two sets before Williams ran away with the third set. The first set was very competitive with both women keeping up with each others hard hitting from the back of the court but it was Williams who held onto a break of serve to win the first set 7-5. Azarenka fought back valiantly in the second set and levelled the match at one set apiece after taking it 7-5. However, Williams really upped her performance to another level which Azarenka could not cope with. Consequently, Williams ran away to be crowned US Open champion by winning the third set 6-1.
My Opinion:
That was the Final we all wanted to see and it did not disappoint. The match could have gone either way but Serena just seemed to be able to go up another gear in the final set which proved to be the difference. The first two sets were very close and the match deservedly went to a third set. It was a valiant effort from Azarenka but Serena proved why she is world number one and rightly deserved to win after that performance.
