The carefree youth was right with the lethal experience. Serena Williams was beaten by the Canadian prodigy Bianca Andreescu, who played without any complex in the final of the US Open. Bianca Andreescu wins, at age 19, her first Grand Slam tournament.
Serena Williams was looking for a 24th Grand Slam record. But after a tense match, she was beaten by the young Canadian prodigy Bianca Andreescu, who won: 6-3, 7-5.
At the end of the match, she confessed that she had dreamed, without daring to believe one day live this final. " I worked very, very hard and this year it's a dream come true. And tonight, defeating Serena who is a legend of this sport, it's amazing, "said Andreescu who had not passed the qualifiers at Flushing Meadows last year.
Williams, who turns 38 on September 26, was once again very nervous, giving up the first game of the game by committing two double faults in a row, and then offering the first set on a new double fault.
No 24th Grand Slam title
In the second run, Andreescu led 5-1 and earned a first match point, but Williams went back to 5-5. Much to the public's delight, the game then seemed to turn. But Andreescu regained consciousness and won the next two games in an attitude called " heroic " by his coach.
Serena Williams has lost her fourth Grand Slam final in a row since her maternity return in March 2018: she lost to Wimbledon and the US Open 2018 and again Wimbledon and the US Open 2019. She remains 23 major titles, still at a record length from the legendary Margaret Court.
