Even Coco Gauff is starting to really believe. How could she not? The 19-year-old from Florida is one victory away from her first major championship — and Gauff will have 23,000 or so of her closest friends backing her in Arthur Ashe Stadium on Saturday when she meets Aryna Sabalenka, a 25-year-old from Belarus, in the final at Flushing Meadows.
Sep 08, 2023 at 02:20 PM ETNEW YORK — Ever since Coco Gauff announced her arrival with a remarkable Grand Slam debut at age 15, she’s been in the spotlight. Just about everyone in tennis recognized her talent, her smarts, her drive, her ability to step up on big stages.
“It’s still definitely a part of me, but I do think I’m giving myself more credit more,” Gauff said Thursday night after beating Karolina Muchova 6-4, 7-5 on her sixth match point in a semifinal interrupted for 50 minutes in the second set by protesters concerned about the role of fossil fuels in climate change. “And speaking things into existence is real. I’ve been trying to speak more positively of myself and actually telling myself that I’m a great player.
“I’m still hoping that probably some of them will be supporting me. Will be just a little bit,” Sabalenka said with a laugh. “Just sometimes, please. Please!”
