19-year-old Andreescu could not understand that she won against Serena Williams in New York in front of nearly 24,000 fans who gave a hurricane support to the American after she saved a match ball at 3-6.1-5. Many in the crowd got up after every point Williams took on his way to 5-5 and what many thought would be a turn of the match.

Andreescu is the first women's player in the US Open since 1968 (the Open era) to win the tournament in his debut in the premier league. For the past two years, she has been knocked out in the qualifiers.
