Top seed Serena Williams put up a reassuring perfomance against Demark’s Caroline Wozniacki to win her 18th career Grand Slam title and a record-equaling sixth US Open title on Sunday.
The 32-year-old American cruised to a 6-3, 6-3 win over the tenth seed to claim her third successive US Open titles, becoming the first woman since Chris Evert to complete three-peat (the latter won four straight in the 70s), as well as tying her compatriot for most titles in the Open Era.
The world number one’s triumph comes a couple of days after becoming the first player to qualify for the WTA Finals in Singapore, slated for October. Suffix it to say, after a disappointing start to the season, it all clicked when it mattered for Williams, who received a record $4m payout- the largest payout in tennis history. Lets break it down $3m for her victory in Flushing Meadows and a bonus check of $1m for picking up the Emirates Airlines US Open Series on her way into the US Open.
