Monday, September 10, 2012Omoba
Serena Williams
showed incredible resolve to outlast Victoria Azarenka
and secure her fourth US Open title. The 30-year-old lifted her 15th Grand Slam
singles crown - and fourth in New York - with a 6-2 2-6 7-5 win in 138 minutes
on Arthur Ashe Stadium
"I honestly can't believe I won," said the American. "I was preparing my runner-up speech because she was playing so great."

World number one Azarenka served for the match, but Williams broke in a run of four ruthless games to triumph. She became the first player aged over 30 to win the US Open women's singles since Martina Navratilova in 1987.
