Coco Gauff set aside a so-so start and surged to her first Grand Slam title at age 19, coming back to defeat Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the U.S. Open final on Saturday to the delight of a raucous New York City crowd that was loud from start to finish.
Coco Gauff of the United States reacts after defeating Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus in the U.S. Open women's final on Saturday at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center in Queens, New York City.
Gauff, who is from Florida, is the first American teenager to win the country's major tennis tournament since Serena Williams in 1999. If last year's U.S. Open was all about saying goodbye to Williams as she competed for the final time, this year's two weeks in New York turned into a "Welcome to the big time!" for Gauff.
