The biggest title of Coco Gauff’s career could only come in front of a crowd in the US. The Atlanta player became the youngest WTA 1000 champion from Cincinnati and the fourth American to win the Western & Southern Open after Lindsay Davenport, Serena Williams and Madison Keys.Her first WTA 1000 became reality thanks to her clear victory obtained in the final against Karolina Muchova.
Gauff was good at managing the crucial moments of the match with courage and determination.When she served for the second time to close the challenge, she didn’t tremble and showed all the progress she had made from a mental point of view despite her very young age.Coco is one of the strongest tennis players on the Tour, and still has great room for improvement.
In Cincinnati she achieved her first victory with Iga Swiatek, and this is no coincidence, with less than seven days before the start of the 2023 US Open. At Flushing Meadows, Gauff will be one of the players to beat and not an outsider.
She will play in front of the New York crowd to win the tournament and finally become the heiress of Venus and Serena Williams. Who can fight it? The usual: Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, Elena Rybakina and Ons Jabeur. What we have…
