        Billionaire in the making. No question.

        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.

                I don't think the dad travelled, even though he is her coach. She mentioned that in an earlier interview

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

                    He's superstitious so doesn't go to her matches.

                        Whoโ€™s going to be the Director of this movie?

                        What a story

                        Qualifier to Champion

                        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.

                          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.

                              A great achievement, there will be massive scrutiny now. The hard part is screening that out, and also tempering expectations. At 18, she might never win another major. Which will be fine because she will still be the first British female in almost 45 years to win a GS title. Managing that situation would be a challenge. I hope that her apparent joy for the game won't be eroded as it appears to have for Osaka

                                  So I assume the UK, Canada, China, Romania, Equador and the Phillipines will all feature the finalists on the front of their national newspapers today and claim something in their DNA or residence...
