When I saw the draw I had no expectations and I said that I will enjoy every second of seeing Simo, being in the position to defend final and also no.1 coming after an injury, but she made 2nd week, and she played amazing tennis! Serena was too good today, Im so proud of Simo!❤️ pic.twitter.com/L86NtJcZri

Serena Williams is the oldest EVER player to beat a world number one.
Former record was from her sister Venus.

The best player this century faced the best player of 2018, and both won — Serena a match and a chance to continue to pursue a historic championship, Halep a large quantity of respect in the locker room… and in her very large heart.
That was great.

I had to stop fiddling with my phone and give the Queen my full attention and energy. Serena seemed exasperated in the third set, then hit a new gear.
