Coco Gauff has appeared in some photos that show her celebrating her US Open victory in style with her childhood friend.

19-year-old Gauff had a dream run at the US Open earlier this month. The American had already achieved a lot of success on the North American swing in August, winning both the WTA 500 DC Open and the WTA 1000 Cincinnati Open, meaning she entered the New York major with a lot of expectation on her shoulders.

However, the young star lived up to the hype by soaring through the rounds, ousting the likes of Caroline Wozniacki and Karolina Muchova on her run to the final. Once there, she faced new World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka and fought back from a set down to clinch the title 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
