Yes, Williams lost to Canadian Bianca Andreescu in straight sets. Bianca Andreescu won the final 6-3, 7-5 at the Arthur Ashe court.
Serena Williams thus failed for a second year in a row to claim a history-matching 24th Grand Slam title in New York to equal Margaret Court’s career tally. Last year, Williams lost a controversial match to Japanese star Naomi Osaka 6-3, 6-4.
In fact the 19 years old Canadian was too swift for aging and rather bulky American. Andreescu by wining the US Open title becomes the first Canadian, man or woman, to win a major in a singles event and has done so in the fewest number of Grand Slam appearances since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004, according to ESPN.
