Passion: Williams screams in anguish despite being well in control of the match from the outset 

It took Serena Williams two months to go from the nadir of her Wimbledon embarrassment to Grand Slam champion in two months, emphatically claiming her 18th Grand Slam title on Sunday night.

The 32 year-old American equalled the Major tally of Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert by overcoming an edgy Caroline Wozniacki in the US Open final 6-3 6-3 in 75 minutes, reconfirming her position as the world’s number one player.

After collapsing on the court in delight and trying, and failing, to suppress her emotion, she was presented by the two legends with an eighteen carat gold bracelet from Tiffany’s marking the achievement. Next stop is the total of 22 Slam titles won by Steffi Graf.
