2008 U.S. Open Champion Serena Williams Is Now World No. 1...What A Twofer!
Monday, September 8, 2008
There's really not much to say here. American Serena Williams took her third U.S. Open Championship Sunday night in the Arthur Ashe Stadium by defeating Serbian Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 7-5. It was a well contested match on both sides.
When asked which title was the most exciting, Serena said "every one is so exciting, believe me. This is cool because I'm at No. 9. I'm pushing the doors closer to double digits, which of course I want to get to."
"I think this title meant more to Serena than any title she's ever won," her father and coach, Richard Williams said.
At the net, Serena said to Jankovic, "I'm sorry I got so excited."
