"Coming back to world number one, it's a dream come true, for sure," the 22-year-old said after hoisting the trophy aloft. "I would say I wasn't expecting that right now, this season. I was hoping that maybe next year is going to be my year, but it seems like you know, just working hard and focusing on the right things at the end worked. So I'm really happy."
