Has made history by being the first tennis player (male or female) to reach a Grand Slam final despite being a qualifier.

Woke up just in time to see the closing stages of the match and the post match interview etc on Amazon. A truly amazing achievement and now looking forward to the final on Saturday night...

Has made history by being the first tennis player (male or female) to reach a Grand Slam final despite being a qualifier.

And she's done it without having lost a set. In fact she's only lost 27 games in 18 sets, i.e. on average 1.5 games per set.

Tabloids saying that win will catapult her into the 100 Mill earning potential in the next few years as shes so likable and marketable, well against the likes of Henman and Murray any one is more marketable !!

In Murray's defense the tabloids ripped into him for saying he'd be supporting anyone but England at the World Cup (something that was clearly meant as a joke), given the massive overreaction from the press he probably thought it'd be better to be boring after that.

Andy Murray is far from boring. He just has a boring voice.

One of the best sporting moments of the year, if not the best.

Wonderful person, too.

She's been dreadful since the US open. I've been watching all her ATP matches. Not sure whats happened there.

She spent ages trying to find a new coach after sacking the old one, probably didn't help her tennis too much in that period. She's only 19 at the end of the day, a reality check like this will probably be good for her in the long run.

Has she got a new one now, I haven't heard.

I fear she might be a one hit wonder.

Torben Beltz (former coach of Angelique Kerber), happened in November.
