She is a very different character to Williams and has an understated presence on court but possesses an inner belief that has now carried her to straight-sets victories in her last 10 finals.

The 21-year-old defeated Ons Jabeur 6-2 7-6 (5) in an hour and 50 minutes at Flushing Meadows to add her first hard-court major trophy to her two French Open successes.
