Bianca stunned the crowd when she defeated the heavy favorite Serena Williams to win the trophy and making history.

Teenager Bianca Andreescu stunned Serena Williams in a gripping US Open final to claim a first Grand Slam title and deny the American a 24th major.

Williams, 37, did not cope with the 19-year-old’s quality in a 6-3 7-5 loss.

Canadian 15th seed Andreescu, in the main draw here for the first time, blew a double break in the second set before taking her third match point and falling to the ground in disbelief.

“This year has been a dream come true,” Andreescu told the crowd.

“I am beyond grateful and truly blessed. I’ve worked really hard for this moment. To play on this stage against Serena - a true legend of the sport - is amazing.”

I watched the match. It was impressive to see Andreescu be able to match Serena’s power.

Also impressive to see Serena come back from 5-1, only to fall short.

Congrats Andreescu!

It’s obvious that Serena has something mental going on when she gets to these grandslam finals since giving birth. None of the four finals have been particularly close.
