She's the first qualifier to win one, so probably no.

Forgot she withdrew from Wimbledon a few months ago too citing breathing difficulties…..which probably comes from adrenaline or being overwhelmed and not being able to get it together, which makes doing this in New York all the more incredible. Tennis is a lonely game, it’s just you and your thoughts going round and round in your head constantly…the ones that can control this go on to be the winners.
Absolutely incredible achievement, regardless of some of the stupid comments on this thread.
If some kid fleeing persecution and torture in Iraq or Afghanistan settles in Cardiff as an 8 year old , signs for CCFC as a youngster and eventually gets called up to play for Wales
He's fecking welsh
Kim Clijsters was the first unseeded woman to win the US Open in 2009 but she actually had no ranking as she was just coming back from retirement and was given a wildcard (which put her straight into the main tournament missing qualifying) because she had, of course been world number 1 and was a previous winner of the event.
She then lost in the second round of the Luxembourg Open, and I read somewhere that Raducanu the other week applied to enter the qualifiers for that event.
I bet they will welcome her with open arms now!!
being used to only really watching Wimbledon, I found the crowd a little annoying when she was trying to close out the match. the umpire had to repeatedly ask them to be quiet
