Download Serena Williams has won back-to-back Grand Slam titles for the first time since she completed a "Serena Slam", and after major setbacks the past two years, she is talking about smashing some records. Williams outlasted World No 1 Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 on Sunday to win her fourth US Open crown, becoming its second-oldest Open-era winner at age 30, and a 15th Grand Slam title, seven shy of Steffi Graf's all-time record. "Even though I'm 30, I feel so young and I've never felt as fit and more excited and more hungry," Williams said. "Even with this win like I'm sitting here so excited still to play the next Grand Slam and see what I can do. I love that feeling. I feel like it's overdue." Williams took her third major title in as many months after Wimbledon in July and Olympic gold last month on the same All-England Club grass courts. "It's so cool. I'm so excited," she said. "To cap off the gold medal and then to come from the gold medal to win US Open is unforgettable." Williams won her first back-to-back Slam crowns since she captured four in a row - the "Serena Slam" - from the 2002 French Open through the 2003 Australian Open. And she said if she had not missed 10 Slams with injury, she might have won five more by now. "Yeah, I think so, but there's nothing I can do about that," she said. Williams has won multiple Grand Slams in a season for the third time in four years, her 2010 and 2009 doubles coming at Wimbledon and the Australian Open. |
