C11 CH Kerber is ranked No. 1 after defeat of Pliskova U.S. Open By Howard Fendrich Associated Press NEW YORK: Early in what would become a tight test of a U.S. Open final, Angelique Kerber sprinted forward to somehow reach a drop shot and scoop a down-the-line winner that landed in a corner of the court.

The Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd roared, and Kerber celebrated by raising her right hand and wagging her index finger in the air, as if to remind opponent Karolina Plis kova and everyone else No. Yes, she is. And a two- time Grand Slam champion, too. Kerber won her first U.S. Open title and the second major trophy of an out-of-nowhere breakthrough season, taking five of the last six games to beat a fading Pliskova 6-3, 4-6, 6-4 on Saturday.

means a lot to me. When I was a kid, I was always dreaming to one day be the No. 1 player in the world, to win Grand said the 28-year- old Kerber, who will move up one spot from No. 2 and replace Serena Williams atop the WTA rankings on Monday. mean, all the dreams came true this Never a Grand Slam finalist before 2016, Kerber beat Williams for the Australian Open title in January, then was the runner-up to her at Wimbledon in July.

Adding the championship at Flushing Meadows was further proof that all of the changes Kerber has made are paying off. The better fitness, via extra time in the gym and longer, more intense practice sessions; an improved serve and a new willingness to attack during points, rather than mainly counter-punching, via instruction from coach Torben Beltz; a more positive attitude on court, via help from a mental coach. course, now everybody will try to beat me and have nothing to Kerber said. will try to take this On Saturday, the No. 2-seeded Kerber trailed by a break at 3-1 in the third set before coming back against the 10th-seeded Pliskova, who been past the third round at a major until this tournament.

look Beltz said about the deficit. I think also her strength. Because if she sees she still has a chance, grabbing it and she goes for Kerber is the first woman from Germany to win the U.S. Open and the first to get to No. 1 since her idol and mentor, Steffi Graf, who got in touch via text message before the final.

It was Pliskova who guaranteed ascension in the rankings by beating Williams in the semifinals, ending her streak of 186 consecutive weeks at the top, which began in February 2013 and equaled mark. Kerber, who collected $3.5 million in prize money Saturday, lost to Pliskova the last time they met, just three weeks ago in the final of a hard-court tournament in Cincinnati. But at the outset of this final, it was Kerber who was in charge. Her defense is exemplary, scrambling along the baseline to put her racket on seemingly every ball, crouching so low that her knees would come close to scraping the ground. Angie, you cannot wait for Pliskova said.
