How Bianca Andreescu beat Serena Williams to win U.S. Open vanguardngr.com vanguardnews
The 19-year-old dropped her racket after hitting a blistering forehand return winner on match-point to seal victory at Arthur Ashe Stadium and collapsed on her back after embracing her defeated opponent.“I’m just beyond grateful and truly blessed. I’ve worked really, really hard for this moment and I can’t complain. This year has been a dream come true,” she added before collecting her $3.85 million winner’s cheque.
Williams, who has been denied the milestone in four slam finals since claiming her last major title at the Australian Open in 2017, was gracious in defeat.“Congratulations, I’m so proud and happy for you. I wish I could have played better.” The fearless Andreescu pressured Williams from the outset, electing to receive after winning the coin toss and immediately breaking her childhood idol.
Shouting “come on” after winning key points, Andersen’s vicious forehand kept Williams on the back foot. Costly errors, including a double fault on set-point in the first, put the American in an early hole.
