With the win, she became the 8th different US Open champion since 2014; only Naomi Osaka was a repeat champion during that time.
Gauff started the match slowly against World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka dropping the first set.
But she got her game together in the second and third sets.
Her athleticism was on display much to Sabalenka’s frustration.
Gauff was able to chase down balls and forced Sabalenka to hit multiple shots within the same point.
That strategy resulted in a lot of unforced errors from Sabalenka.
In the meantime, Gauff played error-free, especially in the critical early parts of the third set.
After the victory, Gauff went up into the stands to hug her mom and dad.

Since hiring Pere Riba and Brad Gilbert as her coaches, this is her third tournament win within the past month.
She won the Mubadala Citi Open in Washington, DC, and the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati in August.
