And more importantly she appears to be a thoroughly lovely person
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.

That is class

These two, along with Coco look to be the future of women's tennis.
Grace and style as well as power.

Good luck to the boy who wants to ask Hernandez out, her Dad is jacked

Soak it in girl, soak it in

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

Entirely marketable. The endorsements will flow in.

Billionaire in the making. No question.
On that front, how utterly tasteless that handing over the winners cheque is part of the ceremony.

My thoughts exactly
Win and the money will take care of itself
American crass

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

I thought I heard the commentators say that was the trainer sitting with her mum and younger sister.

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.

Who’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.
