“I knew I was disabled, but I never wanted to live what I thought was a disabled life.”

On 13 June 2009, a young Lauren Jones was climbing a tree with a friend when she slipped, fell 20 feet to the ground hitting a branch on the way and breaking her spine.

Aged 13 and a promising footballer, Jones was on the books of Brighton & Hove Albion when she was told she would never walk again.

A decade since the accident, Jones is now a professional GB wheelchair tennis player on the road to the Paralympics.

The Worthing-born teenager was initially airlifted to St Richard’s Hospital in Chichester where doctors quickly learned her injuries were too severe. She needed to be transferred to Southampton General Hospital.

“I was in a room of about 20 other people, a couple of my surgeons who had flown in from America to operate on me and the rest were nurses and my parents,” Jones recalls to BBC Sport.

“I was laying there in a neck cast and everyone was crying. They told me I would never walk again.

“I laughed. It was a shock reaction, I thought it wasn’t real.

“It wasn’t until I looked at all these professionals completely heartbroken and the look on my parents’ faces, that for me is when it hit home.”

Today, Jones is former junior world number one in her sport and has been ranked as high as 24 in her senior singles career.

But her career has not been easy. She has faced multiple injury setbacks, including missing out on the Paralympics in Rio 2016 and has recently been diagnosed with Crohn’s disease.

Despite setbacks, Jones continues to work towards her goal of competing in the Tokyo Paralympics in 2020, and talks to BBC Sport about:

• Life before the accident
• Finding tennis through her accident
• Success as a junior
• Missing out on Rio 2016
• Recent setbacks including being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease
• Road to the Paralympics

‘I was a young girl whose dreams had been shattered’

Before her accident at Chichester Boat Marina in 2009, Jones was a promising footballer. She played for her local team in Worthing and had just started playing for Brighton & Hove Albion Girls Centre of Excellence.

She had previously played for the Seagulls as a nine-year-old, but was told to return once she had a growth spurt in her teenage years.

But that return would unfortunately coincide with her accident and Jones found it hard to adjust to the news she would never walk again.

“I used to lay in my hospital bed trying to move my legs,” she said. “It was a completely life-changing experience and really tough to take.”

But when she finally began to understand the severity of her accident, she started asking questions.

“I wanted to know what I couldn’t do anymore,” she said. “One of the first things I asked is ‘could I travel?’ which is ironic considering now I travel the world every month competing.”

The football lover was a season ticket holder at Reading. Just several hours after finding out about her future, she was asking whether her new disability meant she would be able to get better seats at the Madejski Stadium.

“It was the end of my footballing career, but I knew I wanted to be involved in sport.”

‘The best decision my parents ever made’

As Jones regained the strength to move her arms, she started to become a bit of a character on her ward at Southampton General Hospital.

“I was known for being a bit of a joker, making skid marks as I raced around in a wheelchair and creating a basketball hoop out of a sick bucket,” she recalls.

“I told doctors I wanted to be involved in sport.”

But they were concerned the initial surgery would not cater for the sporting lifestyle Jones wanted.

“There was a chance the rods and screws that realigned my spine from the first surgery would bend and potentially break,” she said.

“My parents had the choice of putting me into major surgery so I could have a better quality of life, but with the risk I may not survive.

“I always say it’s the best decision they’ve ever made. They had to collapse both my lungs and put me on life support.

“They removed one of my ribs, blended it and put the mashed up bone inside my vertebra, surrounded by a metal cage.”

The surgery was a success and enabled Jones to go on and immerse herself in sport.

‘Sport really did change my life after my accident’

Due to her strong desire to play sport and just over two years since her major surgery, Jones was selected for a Paralympic training day at the age of 16.

“I think I was the only one there that wasn’t over 25 with massive muscles,” she said.

After trying a variety, Jones was selected to progress in four sports, eventually deciding to pursue tennis.

“I liked the technical side of tennis and how the professional level of the game ran alongside the able-bodied game such as Grand Slams and Wimbledon,” she added.

“Before my accident, I didn’t know disabled people could play sport, so I didn’t go into tennis with any expectations of becoming professional.

“But, within two years of starting to play, I was junior world number one.”

Jones went on to win doubles with the boys’ junior number one at the time, Alfie Hewett, who has since won three Wimbledon titles and two silver medals at Rio 2016, and is now ranked world number four.

Soon realising she had natural ability in the sport, Jones decided to move away from education to focus on her new goal of becoming a professional tennis player.

Pushing on through setback after setback

Jones has competed all over the world as a professional athlete since taking up wheelchair tennis.

Sadly, following automatic qualification, she was ruled out of the 2016 Rio Paralympics because of injury.

“That was four years of work where I wanted to compete in Rio that was taken away from me,” she said.

The blow has spurred Jones on to work towards Tokyo 2020, but that too has had its setbacks, including being diagnosed with Crohn’s disease last year.

Crohn’s is an inflammatory bowel disease, its symptoms including fatigue, malnourishment and stomach pain.

“It can have serious effects on your body, I was falling asleep by seven o’clock every night,” she added.

“I just assumed that’s what it was like to be a professional athlete with Crohn’s.”

Jones’ pain and exhaustion worried doctors and after multiple tests, they found the then 23-year-old had two abscesses the size of tennis balls attached to her ovaries and bowel.

She was rushed to hospital in March this year needing surgery, and has had to spend three months out of training in the run up to Tokyo.

“It was a very upsetting and tough time for me, they told me I might not be able to have children. It was just the wrong timing following not being able to qualify for Rio,” she said.

“I didn’t want it to get the better of me so I focused on my career off court.

“I created a really great network of businesses and people around me and turned it into a positive.”

Jones’ profile has grown rapidly this year, noticed by Worthing’s local anonymous street artist Horace, who creates portraits of the town’s icons, including rock singer Billy Idol.

‘I’ve been fully focused on Tokyo’

Coming back from injury in May, Jones has to now climb the ranks to earn automatic qualification for Tokyo.

Once 24th in the world, recent injuries have seen her drop to 61st. To be in with the chance of competing in the Paralympics, she needs to reach the top 25.

Since her return, Jones has had five tournaments, winning two doubles, two singles and a career highlight beating world number 21 Macarena Cabrillana from Chile in February.

Her progress has been promising and she beams by the tennis court she trains at in Southampton as she looks ahead to the Paralympics.

“I’m playing the best I’ve ever played, I’m the strongest I’ve ever been and I feel like I’m in the best place I’ve ever been in my career.”

Those recent performances have seen Jones climb back into the world’s top 50 and she will surely leave no stone unturned in her bid to reach the top 25 in time for Tokyo.

“The bigger the occasion, the bigger she hits,” Bianca Andreescu’s coach said before the Canadian’s US Open final victory.

Sylvain Bruneau was talking about the 19-year-old, but it could have equally applied to Serena Williams, her opponent, at pretty much any point over the past 20 years.

But something has changed in Grand Slam finals of late.

For Williams to reach the 2018 Wimbledon final, just 10 months after her traumatic experience in labour, was nothing short of miraculous. And for the American to do the same at last year’s US Open, with very few matches in between, was another phenomenal feat.

Angelique Kerber and Naomi Osaka played extremely well to win those finals, Simona Halep was exceptional in this year’s Wimbledon final, and the poise, belief and skill of Andreescu at Flushing Meadows on Saturday was quite something to watch.

A growing group of players now believe they have what it takes to beat the 23-time Grand Slam champion – who is one short of Australian Margaret Court’s all-time record – when a trophy is on the line.

Williams, 37, may think she has the beating of them, but it does not appear that way, and she did not play nearly as well in the final as she had done in earlier rounds.

Her movement, so impressive in the semi-finals against Elina Svitolina, was much more laboured. And her serve was much diminished.

Williams was broken three times in six matches before the final. On Saturday, she was broken six times in two sets.

She made just 44% of first serves. She won only 30% of her second-serve points. And she sent down eight double faults.

Her serve recovered, briefly, as she won four games in a row to level the second set to thunderous encouragement from the Arthur Ashe Stadium crowd.

Andreescu put her fingers in her ears to block out the noise but then, at 5-5 and with the Canadian only too aware a championship point had come and gone, the confident and clinical Williams disappeared.

Her serve and her groundstrokes became edgy and tentative, as Andreescu regained the composure which would earn her a richly deserved first Grand Slam title.

“Serena…,” Williams said, addressing herself in a post match news conference. “You didn’t miss a serve, you lost serve maybe twice in the whole tournament, and you didn’t hit a first serve in today.

“That was obviously on my mind. How do I play at a level like this in a final?”

• ‘I could have been more Serena’ – Williams criticises ‘inexcusable’ performance
• Andreescu beats Williams – as it happened

The 2013 Wimbledon champion Marion Bartoli, a close friend of Williams, thinks the American puts extra pressure on herself, and cannot rid that from her mind when she steps on to court.

“She just feels she has to win this one, and it has to be that one that she’s going to get to 24, and then to 25 [Grand Slam titles],” Bartoli told BBC Radio 5 Live last week.

Williams’ next opportunity to draw level with Court’s record will come at the Australian Open in Melbourne in January.

Winning a final on the WTA Tour between now and then might do Williams a power of good, but will she want to compete in Asia in the final stretch of the year?

She has not played any tournaments after the US Open for five years. In 2014, when she last played and won the WTA Finals, she went on to win the Australian Open, the French Open and Wimbledon the following year.

After 22 years on tour – and with a two-year-old child to consider – another spell away from home may not remotely appeal. But surely a few more tournaments, and the chance to play at least three matches against top-eight opponents at the WTA Finals in Shenzhen, would be an excellent springboard into 2020?

Williams, of course, has absolutely nothing to prove. To most, she is already considered the greatest of all time – in the women’s game at the very least. She has been in Grand Slam finals 20 years apart, and has won all of her major titles in the Open era.

But she so desperately wants to equal, and then surpass, Court’s tally.

Further opportunities may well arise, but it is now entirely reasonable to ask if, rather than when, she will do it.

Three years ago, a 16-year-old Bianca Andreescu wrote herself a fake cheque.

That cheque was a mock-up of the one given to the US Open champion.

Now, after beating the great Serena Williams 6-3 7-5 in Saturday’s compelling final, the composed Canadian is ready to cash a real one worth about £3.1m.

“I’ve been dreaming of this moment for the longest time,” the 19-year-old said of winning her first Grand Slam title, wiping away tears as the magnitude of what she had just achieved finally hit.

“For it to become a reality is crazy.”

• Teenager Andreescu stuns Williams to win US Open
• ‘I could have been more Serena’ – Williams criticises ‘inexcusable’ performance

Crazy is a word which Andreescu, like most teenagers, readily uses to describe unexpected situations and one which has cropped up regularly in her chats with the media over the past few days.

Not without good reason.

Twelve months ago and struggling with injury, she lost in the first round of qualifying at Flushing Meadows and was ranked outside of the top 200 in the world.

But she has become one of the most talked-about young players on the planet following a remarkable rise this year.

Andreescu, whose Romanian parents Nicu and Maria emigrated to Canada in the 1990s, had only played six tour-level matches at the turn of the year.

Since then she has won prestigious WTA Premier titles at Indian Wells and Toronto, rising to 15th in the world as a result and raking in £1.79m of her £1.97m career prize money.

Now the gains are even higher after becoming a Grand Slam champion: she will climb to fifth in the world, take home a winning prize of £3.13m and, surely, become a face recognised by many outside of the parameters of Canada and tennis.

• Andreescu beats Williams – as it happened

“I never really thought about being famous. I’m not complaining though,” she smiled.

“My goals have been to just win as many Grand Slams as possible, become number one in the world. But the idea of fame never really crossed my mind.

“It’s been a crazy ride this year. I can definitely get used to this feeling.”

And the prize money? “Don’t ask me that because I have no clue. I’ve never held that much money in my life!”

Succumbing to the trappings of fame and wealth at a young age looks unlikely for the warm teenager, who has been nurtured by father Nicu, an engineer, and mother Maria, a chief compliance officer for a finance firm.

Maria herself has become a popular figure, particularly among social media users, thanks to her striking look, bold fashion statements and as she brings Coco, Andreescu’s pet dog, to sit on her lap during matches.

Andreescu, an only child, describes her as “the coolest person I know and my role model”.

She also has her mum to thank for helping develop the mental resilience which she needed to block out a passionate home crowd at Flushing Meadows as Williams threatened to derail her hopes.

“I started meditating and visualising ever since I was 12 or 13 when my mum introduced it to me, and I know it wasn’t such a big thing back then, but now it’s getting more popular because I think if you can control your mind, then you can control a lot of things,” she said.

“I think that’s what’s been working really well for me. I just kept doing that.

“When I’m on the court in front of these big stages, I’m really good at just blocking everything and staying in the zone.”

Belief is not something Andreescu has in short supply, illustrated by the way she struts around the court – even on the cavernous Arthur Ashe Stadium, even in her first Grand Slam final – with her head always up.

And that confidence exudes in a marvellous all-round game which has the variety to pull opponents apart, as well as having a killer forehand already rated as one of the best in the game.

Williams, the 23-time Grand Slam champion rated as the greatest female player ever, could not cope with the teenager’s consistent depth as she was hustled out of a record-equalling major.

“I feel like Bianca plays well under pressure. She goes out and she plays hard,” the 37-year-old said.

“She does what she does best, and that’s move up to the ball, that’s hit winners, that’s play with a ton of intensity.”

Andreescu had already earned six wins over top-10 players this year – Caroline Wozniacki, Elina Svitolina, Angelique Kerber (twice), Kiki Bertens and Karolina Pliskova – going into Saturday’s final.

And Williams, who she led against in their Rogers Cup final in Toronto last month before the American retired with a back injury, became the latest victim.

This run to the US Open title means Andreescu has won 14 straight matches and an extraordinary 45 of her 49 matches this season.

She is the first teenager to lift a Grand Slam singles title since Maria Sharapova won the 2006 US Open aged 19 and matched Monica Seles’ record of winning a major in the Open era on only her fourth appearance in a Grand Slam main draw.

While Andreescu’s rise has been rapid, a dream-like year has also not been without its challenges.

She missed a large chunk of the season after suffering a shoulder injury at the Miami Open in March which, after an ill-judged attempt to play the French Open, forced her to miss the entire grass-court swing, making her swift ascent and formidable winning record even more remarkable.

“It’s definitely a process of life. You’re never going to have ups all the time,” she said.

“So I think in those moments, you just have to deal with it the best that you can, which is to just keep fighting for your dreams and just stay as persistent and persevere as much as you can.

“I know in those moments you feel like you can’t.

“But if you believe that there are good times ahead, then those tough moments are definitely worth it. I think it builds you as a character.

“I think everyone should go through it because it just makes you stronger.”

Serena Williams branded her performance in the US Open final “inexcusable” and said it was the “worst match” she played during the tournament.

Williams, who turns 38 later this month, was beaten 6-3 7-5 by Canadian 19-year-old Bianca Andreescu, whose win marked her first Grand Slam title.

Defeat means American Williams is still chasing a record-equalling 24th major.

“I believe I could have just been more Serena today,” said Williams, a six-time champion at Flushing Meadows.

“I honestly don’t think Serena showed up. I have to kind of figure out how to get her to show up in Grand Slam finals.

“It’s inexcusable for me to play at that level.”

• Teenager Andreescu stuns Williams to win US Open
• Andreescu beats Williams – as it happened

Andreescu, in the main draw in New York for the first time, dominated a 43-minute opening set to stun a partisan Arthur Ashe Stadium, going a break up in the very first game.

The 15th seed held match point at 5-2 in the second set before Williams staged an attempted comeback, winning five successive games.

“I was just thinking, honestly at that point, wow, this is terrible,” said Williams. “Like you got to play better. I have to do better.

“I just couldn’t go down like that, so I just wanted to play a little bit better.”

Andreescu broke Williams’ serve for the fourth time of the set to wrap up the win, making her the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam singles title and the first teenager to do so since Maria Sharapova at the 2006 US Open.

Williams remains on 23 Grand Slam titles, one short of Australian Margaret Court’s all-time record.

“I’m not necessarily chasing a record. I’m just trying to win Grand Slams,” Williams said.

“It’s definitely frustrating. But for the most part I just am still here. I’m still doing what I can do.”

‘I’m so close, yet so far away’

Williams has now lost her last four Grand Slam finals, last winning in Australia in 2017 before the difficult birth of her daughter later that year.

In 2018, she lost the Wimbledon final to Angelique Kerber before a controversial US Open final defeat by Naomi Osaka, and was beaten in this year’s final at the All England Club by Simona Halep.

Williams said her successive falls at the final hurdle were “truly frustrating” but vowed to keep going.

“Kerber doesn’t count because I was exhausted,” she said. “My baby was eight months, and that’s tough.

“But all of it honestly, truly is super frustrating. I’m so close, so close, so close, yet so far away.

“I guess I’ve got to keep going if I want to be a professional tennis player. And I’ve just got to just keep fighting through it.

“I definitely did better than I did against Halep.”

Defending champion Alfie Hewett is into the US Open wheelchair singles final after beating Frenchman Nicolas Peifer in straight sets in New York.

Hewett, 21, beat Peifer 6-3 6-4 to advance to the final where he will face Stephane Houdet, also of France.

He had earlier completed his quarter-final against Japan’s Shingo Kunieda – which was suspended on Friday due to rain – winning 6-3 7-6 (7-2).

In the quad singles, Britain’s Andy Lapthorne is into the final.

Lapthorne – who won the US Open in 2014 – will play Australia’s Dylan Alcott for the title at Flushing Meadows on Sunday after beating American Bryan Barten 6-1 6-3 in his final round-robin match

Alcott, who beat Lapthorne to win the Wimbledon title in July, prevailed 0-6 7-6 (7-3) 6-3 in their round-robin meeting earlier in the tournament.

They will also team up in the quad doubles final, having won together at Wimbledon.

Hewett will also play twice on Sunday, partnering Gordon Reid in the men’s wheelchair doubles final against Kunieda and Argentina’s Gustavo Fernandez as they attempt to retain their title.

Teenager Bianca Andreescu stunned Serena Williams in a gripping US Open final to claim a first Grand Slam title and deny the American a 24th major.

Williams, 37, did not cope with the 19-year-old’s quality in a 6-3 7-5 loss.

Canadian 15th seed Andreescu, in the main draw here for the first time, blew a double break in the second set before taking her third match point and falling to the ground in disbelief.

“This year has been a dream come true,” Andreescu told the crowd.

“I am beyond grateful and truly blessed. I’ve worked really hard for this moment. To play on this stage against Serena – a true legend of the sport – is amazing.”

• From a fake cheque to cashing £3.1m – Andreescu on ‘crazy’ reality of winning US Open
• ‘I could have been more Serena’ – Williams criticises ‘inexcusable’ performance

To the disappointment of a stunned home crowd on a passionate Arthur Ashe Stadium, Williams has now lost four successive major finals.

“Bianca played an unbelievable match,” Williams said. “I’m so proud and happy for you, it was incredible tennis out there.”

Williams, seeded eighth, looked edgy throughout as she aimed to match Australian Margaret Court’s tally of all-time major wins, handing over the first three of Andreescu’s five breaks of serve with double faults.

By contrast, Andreescu played with the confidence which has marked her out as a star in a stunning breakthrough year.

She is the first Canadian to win a tennis major and the first teenager to win a Grand Slam since Maria Sharapova claimed the 2006 title at Flushing Meadows.

She is the first teenager to win their maiden Slam since Russian Sharapova at Wimbledon in 2004.

Andreescu kept her nerve to take a third match point with a forehand down the line, dropping her racquet to the ground and then, after a warm hug with Williams, lying on the court with her arms spread out as she contemplated her achievement.

After returning to her feet, she used a hastily-arranged step ladder to climb into her player’s box and embrace her nearest and dearest, including parents Nicu and Maria.

Andreescu blocks out crowd to complete remarkable year

Before the match, Andreescu said if someone told her 12 months ago she would be facing Williams in the US Open final she would have thought they were “crazy”.

Tellingly, in a sign of her unwavering confidence, she said she would not have felt the same if they told her the same thing a fortnight ago.

Twelve months ago she lost in the first round of qualifying at Flushing Meadows and was ranked outside the top 200 in the world.

But she has become the most talked-about young player on the planet following a remarkable rise this year.

Andreescu, whose Romanian parents Nicu and Maria emigrated to Canada in the 1990s, had only played six tour-level matches at the turn of the year.

Since then she has won prestigious WTA Premier titles at Indian Wells and Toronto, rising to 15th in the world as a result and raking in £1.79m of her £1.97m career prize money.

Now she will climb to fifth in the world and take home another $3.85m (£3.13m) after this success.

Andreescu was fearless throughout her maiden Grand Slam final and unfazed by the occasion of playing an American icon on the biggest tennis court in the world.

Although the crowd was unsurprisingly backing Williams throughout inside an incredible noisy Ashe, the manner in which Andreescu coped and reset after seeing her double break in the second set disappear was remarkable.

At one point, Andreescu even put her fingers in her ears as the volume became particularly loud as Williams fought back from 5-1 down.

After her first Championship point went begging in the seventh game, another disappeared when Williams hit an ace for 30-40 in what proved to be the final game before Andreescu sealed victory at the third attempt with a forehand winner.

“I definitely had to overcome the crowd. I knew you guys wanted Serena to win,” a smiling Andreescu said in her on-court victory speech.

“Obviously it was expected for Serena to fight back, but I tried my best to block everything out. I’m glad how I managed to do that.”

Williams fails to get over the line again

Williams said after July’s defeat in the Wimbledon final against Simona Halep that the weight of history was not a burden as she aimed to clinch that record-equalling 24th Grand Slam.

Yet, after also losing last year’s Wimbledon final and a controversial US Open final against Naomi Osaka 12 months ago, this latest defeat inevitably leads to more questions about why she cannot get over the line.

With time seemingly running out for the six-time US Open champion, who turns 38 this month, it makes you wonder how many more chances she will have to earn her place as the greatest ever, at least in numerical terms.

However, BBC Radio 5 Live analyst Jeff Tarango is in no doubt she will reach more Grand Slam finals.

“I think Serena will pull it together. I don’t have any doubt. She’s going to be back, she’s not going to give up,” the American said.

If Williams was looking for a comfortable start following her three previous final defeats, that did not materialise.

Nerves again seemed to take hold as she produced two double faults to gift the opening game to Andreescu, leaving her chasing a deficit which she could not recover.

It was the first break point she had faced – and lost – since the first set of her fourth-round win over Croat Petra Martic.

The confidence she showed in the routine wins over China’s 18th seed Wang Qiang and Ukrainian fifth seed Elina Svitolina were not apparent as Andreescu’s depth and variety, plus her ability to absorb Williams’ power, unsettled the American.

Williams, who had close friend Meghan Markle, the Duchess of Sussex, sitting with her family, could not play with the control she showed against Wang and Svitolina, producing 14 unforced errors in a loose opening set.

All of her nine previous defeats in Grand Slam finals came after losing the opening sets and this miserable record did not look like changing when Andreescu started racing away with the second set.

Williams looked dejected as she continued to struggle to land a first serve, regularly looking at her racquet and shaking her hand as though she had no answers.

Suddenly she started to provide them in a spirited fightback, only for two more unforced errors to creep in to stall her momentum as Andreescu broke for a sixth time.

“I was just fighting at that point [at 5-1 down in the second set], trying to stay out there a little bit longer. The fans started cheering so hard and it made me feel better and fight a bit more,” Williams said.

“Bianca played an unbelievable match. If anyone could win this, outside of [sister] Venus, I’m happy it’s Bianca.”

‘Andreescu is the real deal’ – reaction

Tennis great Billie Jean King: “Congratulations to Bianca Andreescu on winning her first major title at the #USOpen. She is Canada’s first Grand Slam singles champion! The Future is now. A phenomenal effort by Serena Williams until the very end.

2019 Cincinnati Masters champion Madison Keys: “Congrats Bianca Andreescu on your first Grand Slam. So happy for you! Always a fighter, always inspiring – win or lose Serena Williams. Such a great match to watch.”

Wimbledon champion Simona Halep: “Congratulations Bianca Andreescu on an amazing performance and your first Grand Slam! Romania is very proud of you.”

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: “Congratulations Bianca Andreescu! You’ve made history and made a whole country very proud.”

BBC Radio 5 Live tennis commentator David Law: “Andreescu was just magnificent for the first set and a half. We ran out of superlatives to describe the way she was playing. She has presence and buckets and buckets of ability. It’s remarkable to see it in a 19-year-old. She is totally unfazed by her surroundings, it would appear. That is four Grand Slam finals in a row that’s Williams has not been able to win, but I don’t know how much more she could have done today. Andreescu is the real deal.”
