US Open 2001

The dominant performance puts her back into the US Open final for the second time in her career. Her other trip to the finals resulted in her only Grand Slam tournament championship, in 1999.

It was the exclamation mark, that last game, to what may be the most dominant performance in the Big Apple since Martinez's masterpiece.
