Naomi Osaka beat Belarusian Victoria Azarenka 1-6 6-3 6-3 to lift the trophy for the second time in three years. She also became the first woman to win her first three Grand Slam finals since Jennifer Capriati (2001 AO, 2001 RG, 2002 AO). Still, it was a remarkable and unexpected run for the 31-year-old Belarusian, who was playing in her first major final in seven years. It marked the first time since Arantxa Sanchez-Vicario in 1994 that a player had dropped the first set of the women's final and fought back to win the title. Making her voice heard:Naomi Osaka capped a transformative US Open with another Grand Slam title and a challenge to the millions watching across the globe on Saturday to "start talking" about racial justice.
