In our weekly feature on the ins and outs in women's sport, the 2019-20 FA Women's Super League season kicked off and a record number of fans watched the action while Bianca Andreescu went where no other Canadian singles tennis player has gone before.
A week in the world of women's sport
Cricket Australia produced two dominant display to win their ODI series against the West Indies with one match still to play.
The visitors started the series with a 178-run win as opener Alyssa Healy (122 from 105 balls) and captain Meg Lanning (121 from 146 balls) powered them to 308 for four before Ellyse Perry (three for 17) helped to bowl the Windies out for 130.
It was more of the same in the second ODI and this time an unbeaten 112 from 118 balls from Perry steered the Southern Stars to 308 for two.
Most of the bowlers then chipped in as they restricted the hosts to 157 for eight in their 50 overs.
Football The 2019-20 FA Women's Super League kicked off this weekend and what a start it was as nearly 63,000 spectators filled the stadiums at the six matches. In comparison, just over 5,000 watched the five opening weekend games last season.
The standard was set at the Etihad Stadium as a WSL-record crowd of 31,213 attended the first-ever Manchester derby as hosts City beat United 1-0 thanks to a wonder strike from Scotland international Caroline Weir.
Not to be outdone, Chelsea had 24,564 fans turn up at Stamford Bridge to watch them take on newly promoted Tottenham Hotspur and they were also victorious thanks to a long-range effort.
This time Beth England's strike gave the Blues the 1-0 win.
Defending champions Arsenal also opened their campaign with a win as they held off a late charge from West Ham to win 2-1 with Beth Mead and Jill Roord getting the goals for the Gunners and Martha Thomas scoring the Hammers' solitary goal.
In other results, Everton beat Birmingham City 1-0 away from home, Reading also claimed a win on the road as they were 1-0 winners over Liverpool, and Bristol City and Brighton played to a goalless draw.
Golf The build-up to the 2019 Solheim Cup continues and Team Europe vice-captain Melissa Reid chats up Gleneagles and its "very special aura".
How about a trip down memory lane? Team Europe captain Catriona Matthew and Team USA counterpart Juli Inkster do the honours.
Netball England shooter Eleanor Cardwell will return to Manchester Thunder for the 2020 Superleague season after signing a two-year contract with the defending champions.
Cardwell joins the Thunder after spending last season with Severn Stars.
"I'm so excited for this upcoming season and to see how we can build on the last and try and reclaim the Superleague title," Cardwell said.
Meanwhile, England goal attack Ella Clark has rejoined the Loughborough Lightning.
"It feels really great to sign for Lightning for another year and I can't wait to get the season started," the 27-year-old said.
"I'm hoping we can build on last year's campaign, we lost a few key players going into 2019 so it took some time for us to build and adjust as a fairly new squad so I'm looking forward to continuing on that journey and pushing further next season."
Tennis Take a bow, Bianca Andreescu.
The 19-year-old became the first Canadian to win a Grand Slam singles title as she emphatically beat 23-time major winner Serena Williams in straight sets in the US Open women's final on Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Despite some second-set nerves, the teenager dominated the tennis great 6-3, 7-5 to complete her fairytale US Open main draw debut with the trophy.
"This wasn't the only time I visualized playing in the finals actually against Serena Williams. It's so crazy, man. I've been - (tearing up). Sorry," she said.
"I've been dreaming of this moment for the longest time. Like I said after I won the Orange Bowl, a couple months after, I really believed that I could be at this stage. Since then, honestly I've been visualizing it almost every single day."
She added: "It's been a goal of mine to inspire many people, especially Canadian athletes. I think that this win will hopefully do that, not only this win but just what I've accomplished this past year because so many Canadian athletes have paved the way for me when I was young.
"Hopefully I can be that person to them."
At the age of 19 years and 83 days, Andreescu also became the 10th youngest female to win a Grand Slam. Check out the full list on Tennis365.com.
