It turned out to be a couple of weeks of high-octane tennis and, fittingly, the 2019 US Open ended with an epic battle on Sunday.

 

Spanish veteran Rafael Nadal had to draw on all his experience to survive Daniil Medvedev's epic fightback and clinch his fourth US title and 19th Grand Slam overall.

19-year-old Canadian Bianca Andreescu made headlines a day earlier after shocking Serena Williams to win her first Grand Slam crown.

Andreescu had failed to qualify for the tournament last year and ended 2018 with a year-end ranking of 178.

Nadal, 33, became the second oldest US Open champion in the professional era behind Australian Ken Rosewall, who was 35 when he won it in 1970.
