Women's singles final

[edit]

The Women's single's final featured the then top ranked[1] Victoria Azarenka against then three-time champion Serena Williams. Williams had beaten Azarenka in the 2012 Wimbledon semifinals and had won her first six matches in the US Open easily without dropping a set.[2]

Williams won the first set 6-2. Azarenka came back with a break in the first game of the second set and won 2-6.[3] In the final set with the set tied 3-3, Williams double-faulted and Azarenka took advantage and won the break.[3] At 3-5, Azarkenka was two points from victory against Williams' serve,[1] and then at 4-5 Azarenka was serving for the match. Azarenka then made three errors and lost the game to go to 5-5.[3] Williams then won the final two games to win the title.
