Fabulous match - what a star this young woman is! She hit some majestic shots to win the US Open. She didn't exactly breeze through, her opponent put up quite a fight, but to win an Open without dropping a set in the entire tournament is one hell of an achievement. Yes and as an unseeded qualifier too, the first ever to do this and win a Grand Slam tournament.

Good grief No! She can't possibly win that as she actually has a personality.... and a very lovely, natural one too.
