Coco Gauff reached her second grand slam final on Thursday after defeating the Czech Republic’s Karolína Muchová at the US Open in a match interrupted by climate protestors. The 19-year-old Gauff, now the youngest women’s finalist at the US Open since Serena Williams in 1999, triumphed 6-4 7-5 against Muchová and will face Aryna Sabalenka in Saturday’s showpiece. The Belarusian mounted a superb comeback against American Madison Keys in Friday’s later game to win 0-6 7-6 7-6 .
Gauff seized the advantage after play resumed when she broke Muchová’s serve at 4-3 but needed to ride out a dramatic ending to the match. She eventually sealed the win when a Muchová backhand drifted long, punching the air and roaring in delight. Asked about her evolution since losing last year’s French Open final to Iga Świątek, Gauff said: “This time around, I have been focusing more on myself and my expectations of myself.
