American teenager Coco Gauff stormed back from a set down to defeat World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka and capture her first major on home soil at the US Open.
Gauff claimed her first major title by prevailing 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 over No.2 seed Sabalenka in just over two hours under a closed roof on Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday night.
The 19-year-old is the 10th teenager to win the US Open women's title all-time and the first American teenager to be crowned at her home major since Serena Williams won as a 17-year-old in 1999.
In addition to Williams, Gauffjoins Tracy Austin, Stefanie Graf, Monica Seles, Martina Hingis, Svetlana Kuznetsova, Maria Sharapova, Bianca Andreescu, and Emma Raducanu on New York's under20 roll of honor.
