Coco Gauff won the US Open 2023 after beating Aryna Sabalenka in three sets and she could not keep her eyes dry due to all the emotions.
Not so long ago the young American won the title in Washington and a few weeks later she also won the Cincinnati Open.
After a fierce fight with Sabalenka she becomes the first teenager since Serena Williams to win the US Open.
"It means so much to me," Gauff said during the trophy presentation. "I feel like I’m a little bit in shock in this moment. That French Open loss was a heartbreak for me, but I realized God puts you through tribulations and trials, and that makes this moment even sweeter than I could imagine".
"My dad took me to this tournament, sitting right there, watching Venus and Serena compete, so it’s really incredible to be here on this stage."
Gauff will be the new number 3 of the world when the new ranking comes out on Monday. That will also be a new personal record for her because she peaked at number 4 earlier this season.
Coco Gauff’s beautiful words for her dad after winning US Open: “He was the first person I saw. That was the first time I saw my dad cry. At the French Open, he claims he wasn’t crying. But today, I saw it.. I rarely see my mom cry either.. That moment. I’ll never forget that…

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
