She was the junior champion at Flushing Meadows in 2013.As she was serving for the victory in the final game, Konjuh was startled -- right along with the spectators in Arthur Ashe Stadium -- when a piercing noise was heard from the arenas sound system as she tossed a ball. She recoiled, let the ball drop, and put her left hand to her chest.
