Naomi Osaka of Japan beat Serena Williams to lift Women's singles title of US Open

In tennis, Naomi Osaka of Japan has lifted the Women's singles title of US Open 2018. She won the Grand Slam defeating Serena Williams of US in straight sets 6-2, 6-4.

In Mixed doubles, the British and American pair of Jamie Murray and Bethanie Mattek-Sands lifted the title defeating pair of Croatia and Poland Nikola Mektic and Alicja Rosolska 2-6, 6-3, 11-9.
