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.

She can't possibly win that as she actually has a personality.... and a very lovely, natural one too.

. I found that too, and enjoyed her nod to Virginia Wade and co. Amazing how she's taken all of this in her stride.

The mind boggles as to what the odds for that would've been.

Sorry to be a pedant (well actually not too sorry!) but whereas you are factually correct that ER was an unseeded qualifier, it is by definition impossible to be a seeded qualifier.

She was 400/1 to win it.
Wish I had a tenner on that

Blimey, what a dream bet that would've been. And she didn't even lose a set. I suppose someone must have bet on it. Talk about a good call!
