Serena Williams powered past Victoria Azarenka 6-2, 2-6, 7-5 to win her fourth US Open title.

Serena Williams rallied as Victoria Azarenka served for victory, with the American winning her 15th Grand Slam title and fourth at the US Open on Sunday 6-2, 2-6, 7-5.

The struggle gave the 30-year-old Williams a New York trophy 13 years after winning her first.


Azarenka, the Australian Open champion, was denied a second major this season but will remain atop the rankings.

Azarenka was broken while serving for victory leading 5-4 in the final set. Williams fell on her back on the court when she clinched the win on her first match point as her Belarus opponent put a return long.

The final was the first on the women’s side to stretch to three sets since 1995.

Azarenka had not won a set against Williams in more than two-and-a-half years. Williams lost the New York final in 2011 against Samantha Stosur.
