French Open champion Jelena Ostapenko believes "anything is possible" with the all-out attacking style which brought her a first Grand Slam title.
The Latvian, 20, hit 5 winners on her way to a "dream" 4-6 6-4 6-3 win over Romanina's Simona Halep.
She said "I always had the possibility I could hit the ball earlly hard, "said Ostapenko. "If I have a chance to go for a shot, I'm trying."
She is the first unseeded woman to win the French Open since 1933.
It was only her eight appearance at one of the four tennis majors, the fewest by a champion since Maria Sharapova won Wimbledon in 2004.
"Nobody taught me, it's just the way I play," said Ostapenko. "And also I think my character is like that. I want to really hit the ball."
Ostapenko beat Olympic champion Monica Puig, former finalist Sam Stosur, former number one Caroline Wozniacki and two-time semi-finalist Timea Bacsinszky on her way to the final.
But it was not until the closing moments of her win over third seed Halep, the 2014 runner-up, that the Latvian contemplated winning the title.
"I think I was up in the third set 5-3, then I realised I can win the match," she said. "Not before that. I was just taking it step by step."
Having earned a total of £1m in her professional career before Roland Garros, Ostapenko, who turned 20 on Thursday, will take home £1.65m for Saturday's victory.
