"When I was a kid I was always dreaming to be the number one player in the world and win grand slams and today is the day I won my second grand slam here, especially in New York. Kerber's loss of the second set was the first time the entire championship that she had dropped a set. "I think I was just believing in myself in the third set and just going for it," said Kerber.
