Coco Gauff, the rising star of American tennis, caused a sensation on Saturday by winning the 2023 US Open. At just 19 years old, she won her first Grand Slam title, thus confirming all the potential that had been attributed to her since her debut on the professional circuit.
The final was a real fight, pitting Gauff against the formidable Belarusian Aryna Sabalenka. After losing the first set, Gauff was able to find the necessary resources to turn the situation around and win the next two sets. His determination and aggressive play allowed him to gain the upper hand over his opponent, who made a large number of unforced errors throughout the match.
