Coco Gauff delivered heartfelt words during the award ceremony after securing her maiden WTA 1000 title at the Cincinnati Open.
The young American tennis sensation emerged as the standout performer of the week at the Western and Southern Open. In a thrilling final on Sunday, she overcame Karolina Muchova with a score of 6-3, 6-4, claiming her first-ever WTA 1000 victory at the age of 19.
Gauff's emotions were palpable during the award ceremony as she reflected on the journey she has undertaken at her tender age to achieve this remarkable feat. She eloquently expressed:
"This is unbelievable. Especially after what I went through in Europe earlier this summer. I'm just happy to be in this moment. I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. I spent a lot of nights alone, crying trying to figure it out. I still have a lot to figure out, but I thank him for covering me."
Ascending to the world No. 6 ranking, Gauff has exhibited remarkable improvements throughout the US Open series, boasting an impressive 11-1 record since the commencement of the hardcourt swing.
Merely two weeks prior, she clinched her first WTA 500 title at the DC Open, triumphing over Maria Sakkari in the final with a commanding 6-2, 6-3 scoreline.
Taking a well-deserved break this week, Gauff will use the time to prepare for her upcoming appearance at the US Open, where she enters as the 6th seed. Her best result in the tournament to date is reaching the quarterfinals last year, which means she has a substantial number of points to defend.
In the previous year's competition, Gauff bowed out in the quarterfinals against the French player Caroline Garcia with a score of 6-3, 6-4. With her recent successes and her steadfast dedication to improvement, Gauff's future on the court continues to shine brightly.
