Perhaps for the first time ever at Rod Laver Arena, the championship match was played without fans waving the national flag of the winner in the terraces. They may have seemed mere details as the 24-year-old joyously celebrated with her team in the players’ box and sipped on a glass of champagne at her post-match media conference.
