Brady, meanwhile, is experiencing everything for the first time -- winning a match at a major, telling her life story at packed news conferences. The 21-year-old Brady has been groomed for tennis success from a young age. It's the kind of facilities Lucic-Baroni would have dreamed of when she emigrated from Croatia to the U.S. in the late 1990s. Lucic-Baroni, now 34, burst on the scene in 1997 by winning the first WTA tournament she ever entered at age 15. She waited 19 years to get a second win at Melbourne Park this week, and after beating Maria Sakkari 3-6, 6-2, 6-3 on Saturday, she's now into the round of 16.
