The American teenager came from behind to clinch her first Grand Slam.
NEW YORK: American teenager Coco Gauff came from behind to win the US Open today, clinching her first Grand Slam title with a battling win over Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus.
But with both players making a slew of mistakes throughout an error-strewn final watched by a record crowd of 28,143 it was Gauff who held her nerve when it mattered to seal a deserved victory. “That French Open loss was a heartbreak for me. That makes this moment even sweeter than I could imagine.” She held easily to take a 2-0 lead but Gauff then took advantage of a shaky service game from Sabalenka to break at 2-2 in the fourth.But that hard-won parity was surrendered in the next game as Sabalenka broke back to go 3-2 ahead.
Gauff fended off a break point in the next game to hold for 4-1 and went on to hold for the remainder of the set to level the match when Sabalenka smacked a forehand long.
