2018 US Open - Day 13
Naomi Osaka of Japan, aged 20, created history after beating Serena Williams in the US Open Final.

Second biggest age gap between US Open Women's Winner and Runner-Up

2018 US Open - Day 13
The age gap between Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams is 16 years and 20 days

The age gap between finalists Naomi Osaka and Serena Williams turned out to be the second biggest in US Open history. Osaka is 16 years and 20 days younger than Serena. The biggest age gap was between US Open 1991 finalists, Monica Seles and Martina Navratilova. Monica was 17 years and 45 days younger than one of the most decorated players in tennis history - Navratilova.

Interestingly, in both the cases, the winner was the younger player instead of the veteran. Serena had experience on her side, and Naomi had age. But what separated them was the difference between their game last night.

Congratulations to Naomi, and also to the legend Serena, who has still looked the strongest player on the circuit, even after the birth of her daughter Olympia.
