After Chris Evert, Serena is the second woman to win six US Open titles and three in a row in New York. Williams said “I never dreamed that I could be compared to Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. I was just a kid with a dream and a racket living in Compton.” she added. It is her fifth Gland Slam title without dropping a set.
Mean while though Wonzniacki didn’t leave New York with a first major title but she is placed back in the top 10 and she has to prove plenty of her in the next coming games.

They say three times lucky, and I was hoping for that day. Hopefully I can finish off the year strong and have a good start to next year.”
