"Amazing to win a second Grand Slam in one year," Kerber said. "To be number one and win Grand Slam titles was always my dream ever since I was a little girl," Kerber said. "In the second set, I found some power and took it to a third set," Pliskova said. "Although she gained the first break of the third for a 2-1 lead, Pliskova couldn’t maintain the advantage. Two errors off the ground gave a break back to Kerber in the sixth.Even after her capitulation in the final game, Pliskova was looking forward to building on her breakthrough Slam performance.
