In the history of sporting fairy tales this has to be right up there. To get there as a qualifier and win every set is just amazing.

She'll take home 1.8m for that and will have every sponsor going knocking on her door.

Hopefully she can stay grounded and concentrate on her tennis for a few years rather than the brand to show it wasn't a one off. :newthumb:

When they handed the trophy over they let a few ribbons off. I've seen bigger razzmatazz at Wolves 20 years ago. Lol.

A bit of a wet fart.

However, that's not important great stuff Britain.

An away win in front of an ungracious home crowd.

She deserves a home win.

Just said the same to Mrs Eggs.

Leicester winning the league territory.


Young girls all over the country should be using her as a proper role model and not the Love Island skanks.
