Ajla Tomljanovic was able to defeat Serena Williams as the American ran out of steam in the final set which the Aussie won 6-1.
She admitted after the match that she felt really conflicted about the victory as she was super eager to win during the match but felt as if it wasn't right after the match ended. In her own words:
"During the match I was so eager to win. I mean, I wanted to win as much as the next person because I didn't look at her like, Oh, Serena, her last tournament. But then when it ended, it almost didn't feel right."
Tomljanovic could also see the funny side of it all as she might be remembered as the last player to defeat Serena Williams or the last player she's ever played:
"I mean, no one's going to pronounce my name right. That's going to suck. But I don't think I've of been part of tennis history, so that's pretty cool. I do feel a little bit like the villain."
