Just incredible. A qualifier making an open final, it's unheard of. Never been done before. She had to win 3 games before she could even start the tournament proper. Never been done in the history of the game. She didn't even drop a set. A single set. 18 years old. The style of tennis she plays is relentless. Constant attack. An absolute joy to watch and she is normal. She had to finish and pass her A levels before she was allowed to fly over to play. She had a flight booked home after the qualifiers as no one expected her to even qualify. Her focus this year was school.

Such a talent. She could be the greatest ever.

Even I watched it. I think tennis is shite but I enjoyed seeing history made.

Born in Canada to Chinese-Romanian parents

Moved from there at 2 years old.

She is a Londoner. An exceptional talent. Possibly the greatest tennis player ever born.

A true Brit with real grit.

As has often been said on here. Great Britain is pound for pound the greatest sporting nation on the planet.

I can only agree with this fact.
