NEW YORK (AP) – On the very first point of the match, Serena Williams hit a backhand so hard that her earring flew off. Turns out she was just getting warmed up. Williams kept pounding away, her shots and shouts getting louder with every stroke. And when she finished off Jelena Jankovic 6-4, 7-5 Sunday night for the U.S. Open championship and a ninth Grand Slam title, Williams really went wild.She flung her racket high into the sky, hollering and hopping in a celebration that even she thought might’ve been over the top.
“I’m sorry I got so excited,” she told Jankovic when they met at the net.

Williams’ father, Richard, jumped to his feet after the final point. He didn’t seem to expect his daughter to do the same.
“I never knew Serena to be very, very excited. I knew Serena to be very, very mean,” he said after it was over. “I describe her as being a combination of a pit bull dog, a young Mike Tyson and an alligator.”
The fourth-seeded Williams beat sister Venus in the quarterfinals and barreled through this tournament without losing a set. This win did more than earn Serena her third silver trophy at Flushing Meadows—it assured she will return to No. 1 in the rankings for the time since August 2003, the longest gap at the top for a woman.
Pretty good for someone whose ranking once plummeted to No. 139.
“It’s been so long,” she said.
