Maya Joint is determined not to be defined by the Wimbledon Centre Court triumph that transfixed the sports world, vowing to use her famous victory over Serena Williams as a springboard for a career refresh.
While stars like Coco Gauff lavished the young Aussie with praise for defeating the 44-year-old legend amid all the suffocating hype surrounding her comeback, Joint was left frustrated she couldn't follow it up with a second-round loss to Filipino Alexandra Eala.
Yet after admitting the post-match hoopla had left her sleepless and undermined her preparations for the Eala contest, she was also adamant the Williams triumph wasn't a life-changing moment for her.
