‘It doesn't get more dramatic than that, to be honest,’ says 19-year-old American Coco Gauff after rallying against second seed Aryna Sabalenka to claim her first Grand Slam title

Sabalenka had only dropped a single set en route to Saturday’s finale and had tears in her eyes as she offered her opponent credit, chuckling as she said she wanted more finals against the American – but with “different results, hopefully.”

“Because of that I start kind of like losing my power,” said Sabalenka “Then she start moving better. I start missing a lot of easy shots.”The win delivered on years of enormous expectations hoisted upon the young American Gauff’s shoulders after she became the youngest ever to qualify for the Wimbledon main draw at 15 years old.“People were putting a lot of pressure on me to win. I felt that at 15 I had to win a Slam at 15,” said Gauff.

“Yeah, it’s just crazy the amount of things that I have heard or seen about myself, but I’m really happy of how I’ve been able to manage it all.”
