"I honestly can't believe I won.  I really was preparing my runner-up speech, because I thought 'Man, she's playing so great.' I'm really shocked." -Serena Williams

Williams has made history all around this year.  Williams is 26-1 since losing the French Open in May, winning Wimbledon as well as the London Olympics.  Serena has now become the first 30 year old woman to win the US Open since Martina Navratilova in 1987.
