Reflecting on her win at the time, she said: ‘It was unbelievable. I never thought when I came to New York here that I would go away with the title.
‘We joked about going here for three weeks but it really happened and I think the key to that is just really focusing on every single point.
‘I haven’t taken the lead at any point in any game, so that’s something I’m very proud of and I tried to focus extremely well and that helped me get the title. .’ ‘
