    Yeah. Class act - really grounded and with no airs or aggressive stuff. Love the way she acknowledged Tim Henman first of all after she won.

    Mrs Meldrew read she flew her childhood tennis coach from her club in Bromley to be at the Final. Lovely thing to do.

      This final was played on the 20th anniversary of 9/11. Neither of the finalists were born then.

          These two, along with Coco look to be the future of women's tennis.

          Grace and style as well as power.

                First qualifier to win a major tournament ever. One of the great tennis performances of all time.

                      On that front, how utterly tasteless that handing over the winners cheque is part of the ceremony.

                          I liked the way the presentation was done with BJK, but the money bit was crass - Wimbledon is much classier in that respect.

                                They don't do that at the Aussie, not sure about the French but I'd assume not. Typically American

                                      Call it The Fairytale of New York. 3 months ago she was an A Level student. Never won a WTA tounament before. Only her second major tournament. Never played a top ten player before. Had to go through qualifying. Said her goal at the start of qualifying was to win enough money to replace her lost Air Pods. 4,000-1 outsider. Won the US Open without dropping a set. Last person to do that was Serena Williams in 2014. Unbelievable.

                                      Much better story than that Wimbledon film they made about Peter Holt.

                                        Billionaire in the making. No question.

                                        On that front, how utterly tasteless that handing over the winners cheque is part of the ceremony.

                                        HMRC will be looking forward to 45% of that cheque even though she's 18. It will pay for around two minutes of the NHS.

                                          Most marketable UK sportsperson since Beckham. The endorsements will flow, as might the trophies.

                                          But so will the attention of the worst sections of the UK press and assorted sharks. Hope she has some tough people around her to tell them to f##k off.
