US Open 2014 Results: Final Scores, Updated Bracket and More for Day 14
In a tournament that quickly became famous for upsets, there was at least one legendary player who affirmed her lofty status atop the rankings.
No. 1 seed Serena Williams defeated No. 10 Caroline Wozniacki, 6-3, 6-3, to win the 2014 U.S. Open women's singles title. It is the third consecutive win for Williams at this tournament and her sixth overall. Her athleticism, powerful groundstrokes and willpower were far too much for her competition to handle.
Williams didn't drop a set throughout the tournament, even as many of her ranked foes dropped out of the competition entirely. Her run of dominance should extend well beyond this tournament.
Williams' 18th Grand Slam title ties her with Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova. At 32 years old, she has plenty of time to break the deadlock and confirm her status as one of the greatest tennis players of all time.
"I have been trying to reach it for so long, since last year, well since the beginning of the year," she said, via The New York Times' Naila-Jean Meyers. "I didn't really think I would get there. I just felt so good."

Women's Final Takeaways

Recapping a Williams match in the U.S. Open is a bit difficult. There were no ups-and-downs, signs of faltering or dramatic stands from her opposition. As FiveThirtyEight's Nate Silver pointed out, she didn't just win sets, but dominated them:
If there was one fault in Williams' game on Sunday, it was her serve, according to the Wall Street Journal's Tom Perrotta:
Indeed, she managed to get just 41 percent of her first serves in during the first set.
However, Williams' power didn't disappear; she still managed to gather up seven aces during the match, four of them in the deciding second set.
Despite the lack of an accurate serve, Williams was untouchable on rallies, notching 15 winners to Wozniacki's one in the first set. The latter only hung around in this match because of an uncharacteristic 23 errors accumulated by Williams.
At times, Wozniacki looked like she was performing on the end of a very long string, with Williams as the puppet master. She forced her Danish opposition to move the entire length of baseline while she maintained a comfortable range of motion. The U.S. Open's Twitter account shows just how masterful Williams was at times:
Wozniacki, who defeated the likes of No. 5 Maria Sharapova to reach the U.S. Open final, was playing some of the best tennis of her career, and still the mismatch was obvious.
SportsCenter gave Williams a royal moniker befitting her tournament run after she dispatched Wozniacki in just 75 minutes of play:
Singles tennis can be a lonely undertaking for obvious reasons. Any comrade is a potential competitor, an obstacle to greatness. However, as CNN's Rachel Nichols reports, this didn't stop Williams from reaching out to her longtime friend and finals foe:
Wozniacki will be happy to take the runner-up title from Williams, and her ranking should skyrocket after her tournament performance. Williams, at the moment, appears to be unstoppable. Her worst enemy is likely her own body (injuries). Should she remain healthy, it is only a matter of time before she captures her 19th Grand Slam title and perhaps a 20th soon after that.
