    That is four Grand Slam finals in a row that's Williams has not been able to win, but I don't know how much more she could have done today against this 19-year-old.

    Andreescu is the real deal.

    Philip West: That’s it. The Serena Williams era is over, without a doubt. Bianca Andreescu is the new superstar of women’s tennis. An astonishing performance, and one of the most incredible Grand Slam title victories I have ever seen.

    Capo di Tutti Capi: Come on!!!!!!!! Andrescu is the new champ!!!! Silence the partisan #USOpen crowd. She nearly choked but cross the finish line at the end!

    Abzzy Rahman: Absolute shocker that. Serena Williams just fell apart there. Congratulations Andreescu!

  5. Andreescu 6-3 7-5 Williams

    With the help of a ladder, she climbs into her box to hug her family, friends and coaching team. Mum and dad grab her for one big cuddle. Oh and her DOG is in her box too!

    What a moment.

    Andreescu 6-3 7-5 Williams

    BIANCA ANDREESCU IS THE US OPEN CHAMPION.

    Williams can't meet the teenager's forehand return and that is that.

  8. Andreescu 6-3 6-5 Williams*

    Not yet, Williams sends an ace down to 40-30 but she's not out of the woods yet.

    Third Championship point.

  9. Andreescu 6-3 6-5 Williams*

    Williams shoots too long to hand the first point to Andreescu but she replies with a forehand winner.

    Andreescu responds with one down the line and then Williams skews a backhand wide.

    Second Championship point for Andreescu.

    It's nothing personal. The crowd just want Serena Williams to win.

    This doesn’t quite capture the madness, so trust me when I say it is like a gladiatorial arena.

    People from all sides lean in the direction of Williams after that previous hold, prowling the baseline like a Roman fighter waiting for their opponent to pull themselves up off the dirt.

    Well, well, well. We were not expecting this about half an hour ago. It was a damp squib at 6-3 5-1.

  13. Andreescu 6-3 6-5 Williams*

    It's been all about Williams in the last few games but Andreescu is still only four points away from her maiden Grand Slam title.

    I have never seen 14,000 people CLAP a double fault before.

  15. Andreescu 6-3 6-5 Williams*

    Andreescu lets off a bit of steam. After a double fault, she goes 30-15 up and screams at herself. That's the first we've heard from her in a while. Then she sends an ace down the T.

    Williams fights back for another point but Andreescu holds. She's starting to look a bit more nervous now so that was important for her.

    Williams has levelled! Five games all. People are high-fiving in the crowd!

  17. Jonathan Jurejko
    BBC Sport at Flushing Meadows

    I'm guessing the people climbing to their feet after every point and shaking both fists in the air like an irate cartoon character are usually calm, reasonable people.

    This is what sports does to you. This is what Serena does to the New York crowd.

  19. Williams levels second set

    *Andreescu 6-3 5-5 Williams

    Williams starts her service game with an ace smack down the middle. A double fault and then she hits another ace. Andreescu hasn't touched the ball yet!

    Second double fault. And then Andreescu sends a backhand well wide.

    Williams holds as an Andreescu backhand lands between the tramlines.

    This set is level.

    She actually could win this and that's putting a little worm in Andreescu's apple there.
