Coco Gauff is a Grand Slam singles champion at age 19, rallying from a set down to beat the world’s top-ranked player in the U.S. Open final.
Gauff overcame Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 to become the youngest American to win a major since Serena Williams took the first of her 23 titles at the 1999 U.S. Open at 17.
“I feel like I’m in shock at this moment,” said an emotional Gauff after her win. “God puts you through tribulations and trials, and this makes this moment sweeter than I would have imagined.”
