Fan favorite Coco Gauff has reached the final of the US Open in New York for the first time. The 19-year-old American defeated the Czech Karolina Muchova on Thursday evening (local time) after a nerve-racking performance at Arthur Ashe Stadium 6: 4, 7: 5 and will reach her first Grand Slam title on Saturday.
For sixth place in the world rankings, it is the second participation in a major final after the French Open 2022. Six years after Sloane Stephens’ triumph, Gauff cherishes hopes of an American home victory in Flushing Meadows. “Growing up, I watched this tournament so often. That means a lot to me,” said Gauff, who thanked the audience: “The job is not done yet.”
Against French Open finalist Muchova, Gauff used her sixth match point after 2:03 hours of play and was not disturbed by a 50-minute stoppage at the start of the second set due to a climate protest.
