- Gauff wins 6-4, 7-5 after climate change protesters interrupt play
- American wins through to her second grand slam final
The summer of Coco Gauff began with a dose of crushing disappointment. After arriving at Wimbledon full of hope, those positive vibes were instantly extinguished. Numerous sleepless nights followed as she tried to figure out how to take the next step forward in her career.
It is to Gauff’s immense credit that she worked so hard to find a solution and is now enjoying the consequences of her toil. In a tension-filled encounter that was delayed due to a climate change protester gluing his bare feet to the Arthur Ashe Stadium concrete, Gauff’s consistency won through as she defeated Karolína Muchová 6-4, 7-5 to advance to the US Open final.
