Serena Williams’ wait for a record-tying 24th Grand Slam title continues as she was stunned by Canadian teen Bianca Andreescu in straight sets in the US Open final.

Andreescu, 19, produced a brilliant performance against six-time US Open winner Williams, sealing victory 6-3 7-5 at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

It is a maiden Grand Slam title for the Canadian, who becomes the first teenage winner of a Major since Russia’s Maria Sharapova at the same venue in 2006.

For Williams, who is two weeks shy of her 38th birthday, it means she remains stuck on 23 Grand Slam titles, having now failed in her past four Majors finals, including twice at Flushing Meadows.
