After all the talk about the womens game needing a leader, someone who is worthy of the top ranking, we reckon the WTA Tour might have found the right girl.

And judging by her comments, shes ready to rule for some time.

“I feel like I have a new career. I feel so young and I feel so energised to play every week,” she said after Sundays final.

“I feel there’s just so much that I can do in my career yet and I’ve never felt like I’ve played my best tennis.”
