My year started in Australia for the Australian Open. I took to the court with my doubles partner, Yui Kamiji, for the final on Friday 24th January feeling confident with the hopes of a great year ahead. My dreams came true and I became the first British woman to win a Grand Slam title.
From there I went on to play some tour matches in the USA and on to the French Open at the amazing Roland Garros. Another brilliant win, on 6th June my partner and I became French Open Champions.
Focus turned to Wimbledon which, as a British player, was the real pinnacle. The realisation on making the final that I could be leaving court that day having won 3 Grand Slams just made more more determined. We did it! Only the US Open in September to go...
Arriving on court at the US Open at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, I tried not to think about the past wins, but it's difficult not to think about what a win here may mean when it's four Grand Slams!
It was a hard final that went to three sets, and I was left exhausted but totally exhilarated with a win! Four Grand Slam wins in a year.
This might take a while to sink in, and I am going to enjoy every moment.
