‘I grew up watching this tournament so much so it means a lot to me to be in the finals,’ says American teen sensation Coco Gauff
NEW YORK, USA – American Coco Gauff beat Karolina Muchova, 6-4, 7-5, to reach her first US Open final on Thursday, September 7, after the match was halted for nearly an hour when an environmental activist glued his feet to the floor of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
Gauff, the sixth seed, will next face the winner of the other semifinal between compatriot Madison Keys and Belarusian second seed Aryna Sabalenka. After the players returned they warmed up again on court before resuming play, neither appearing rattled by the incident. Muchova gave credit to her opponent but told reporters that she was disappointed in the quality of her own play on Thursday.
