I'm just kind of curious here.
I know that Gaston Gaudio was the last male to win a Grand Slam event as an unseeded player. But who was the last female to win a Grand Slam event as unseeded player?
First person who answers this question right gets the best answer. (please list the source along with your answer)
Thank you!
