The defending champion has now won her fifth US Open title after defeating Victoria Azarenka 7-5 6-7 6-1.
Serena has now won 18 grand slams and she is five titles away from Steffi Graf's record of 22 titles and seven short of Margaret Court's all time record of 24 titles.
"I won the French Open but I wasn't happy with my performances in the other two Slams - and not even making it to the quarter-finals of one.
"So I definitely feel a lot better with at least a
second Grand Slam under my belt this year."
"I think it was the moment in the third set that the
momentum changed a little bit and I kind of felt like I lost that
momentum," said Victoria Azarenka
"It didn't happen just because I was out of focus or
something. She really made it happen. In that particular moment she was tougher
today. She was more consistent and she deserved to win.
"The game overall, there are things that could have
been better, but I gave my heart. I fought as hard as I could.
"So that's what is important for me - that I lost to a
great champion - but I'm still going to have my head up."
