"I think this is something that's really out of my expectations because it's only my first ever U.S. Open," said the 23-year-old from Beijing. No Chinese woman has won the U.S. Open, while if Boutier triumphs she will be the second from France, after Catherine Lacoste in 1967. TEAM DUKELiu and Boutier have been close since their days at Duke University in North Carolina. Everybody is out there trying to win, and we'll be very focused, I think," said Liu. "I think she's going to be very focused, and so am I, so I don't really expect anything less," she added.
