She's in red hot form but Wimbledon champion Garbine Muguruza feels she has a point to prove at the US tennis Open.
The Spaniard has never gone past the second round at Flushing Meadows but has started with a straight sets demolition of American Vavara Lepchenko.
She says having a dark past with the results she came in with low expectations so is treating each match as a final.
2014 champion Marin Cilic, eighth seed Jo-Wilfried Tsonga and American hope John Isner are among the early winners in the men's draw.
