I just happened to see the last 3 sets and it was exciting, :)
Serena Williams wrapped up her remarkable summer with the latest rendition of a scene that has become familiar the past few months.
Williams jumping up and down on the tennis court with a wide smile across her face.
Williams picking up a major title - this time, the U.S. Open trophy, which will look good alongside the gold medals she won at the Olympics and the silver plate she took home from Wimbledon.
If there was anything unexpected about her latest triumph, it was the challenge she faced from Victoria Azarenka, especially considering the way Williams dominated everyone she faced on the way to Sunday's final, to say nothing of the way the final started.
Come the third set, with the sun going down and the stadium completely blanketed in shadows, Williams stood only two points away from a loss. She rediscovered her form in time, took the last four games of the match and won her fourth title at Flushing Meadows and 15th Grand Slam title overall with a 2-6, 6-2, 7-5 victory. It was the first women's U.S. Open final to go three sets since 1995.
