Kerber on top of the world with US Open triumphTAIPEI, Taiwan -- NEW YORK -- Angelique Kerber won the US Open on Saturday, marking her rise to world number one with a gritty victory over Karolina Pliskova to add a second Grand Slam crown to her magical 2016 season. Seeded second Kerber rallied from a break down in the third set to beat the hard-hitting 10th-seeded Czech 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 -- breaking Pliskova at love to cap the triumph. "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 my body language was not the best and I was trying to change it in the third," Kerber said.
