US Open 2001
No 2 seed, Jennifer Capriati became only the fifth woman in tennis history to win the Australian and French Opens in the same year.
Capriati up in backhand crosscourt rallies that played to her advantage, running down numerous Capriati forehand blasts and serving herself out of tight spots. For her part, Capriati was never able to establish control of the court with her forehand, nor deliver the necessary down-the-line backhand winners that Williams dared her to attempt.
