Britain’s Lily Miyazaki said her first ever Grand Slam victory will make a huge financial difference to her future in the sport.
The 27-year-old beat Margarita Betova of Russia 6-3, 6-3 in the opening round of the US Open, a victory that means she will rise to just outside the world’s top 150 and is guaranteed $123,000 (£98,600) for reaching the second round.
