Sam Stosur says that she had one of her best days on court after beating Serena Williams to become the US Open champion.
The ninth seed defeated the three-time winner in straight sets 6-2 6-3.
"I guess I had one of my best days," said the 27-year-old Australian. "I'm very fortunate to have been able to do it on this stage in New York, where I've always loved to play.
"It was a dream of mine to be here one day and I don't know what to say to describe how I'm feeling."
The triumph is Stosur's first grand slam singles title.
