The 19-year-old Andreescu became the youngest Grand Slam winner since Svetlana Kuznetsova at the 2004 US Open.
Bianca Andreescu of Canada kisses the championship trophy during the trophy presentation ceremony after winning the Women's Singles final against Serena Williams at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center.
"This year has been a dream come true. Being able to play on this stage against Serena, a true legend of the sport, is amazing. Williams, 37, suffered a second finals loss in a row at Flushing Meadows, after a 2018 defeat against Naomi Osaka best remembered for a furious tirade against chair umpire Carlos Ramos.
Serving at 2-4, Williams erased five break points with a combination of aces and booming groundstrokes but Andreescu was knocking on the door once more as the American served to stay in the set. The American carved out four opportunities to hit back the following game, benefiting from a huge stroke of luck when a forehand brushed the tape and trickled over to haul herself back on serve.
