“Coco is still the present and the future of U.S. tennis. I’m happy that I’m also at the top of the game and one of the leaders for all the Americans,” Pegula stated after her win. This is the first time that two Americans have faced each other in the final four of the WTA Finals since 2002, when Serena Williams defeated Jennifer Capriati.

Pegula will have to wait to see who she meets in the final after the other semifinal between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek was suspended for the night. Swiatek was leading 2-1 at the time that play was halted, with the match set to resume on Sunday.

Despite playing against a much more experienced opponent, the No. 18 seeded Gauff had her cool when it mattered the most. This was especially the case in the first set, where she built a 5-2 lead only to see Stephens come back by taking the next three games. 

Gauff responded by winning her own serve and then breaking for the first set. The second set was a more comfortable affair, as Stephens lost her rhythm and made too many unforced errors to stay in the match.

“I believe in myself. Even last year, I was too focused on trying to fulfill other people’s expectations,” said Gauff after the match. “I know no matter how good or bad my career is, I know I’m a good person, so I think that’s a good message for young people. … Just know: If you love yourself, who cares what anyone else thinks?”

Coco Gauff made her big breakthrough at 2019 Wimbledon when she reached the fourth round as a 15-year-old player. She followed that up with quarterfinals appearances at the 2021 Australian Open and 2021 Wimbledon.

Gauff’s previous best result at Roland Garros was second-round last year. She is yet to drop a set at the tournament this year.

Her victory became even greater because she managed to make a comeback from a match that she was losing. She lost the first set and was on her way to lose the second with 5-2, from which she managed to come back, taking the lead and winning the match.

After the match, Gauff said that she always knew that she could come back whatever the score was.

Gauff is currently just 15 years old which means that she is the youngest player who has ever qualified for Wimbledon and also the youngest tennis player that has reached last 32 since 1991. This has made her an audience favorite, enchanting them with her strong will to continue fighting against much more experienced and seasoned tennis players.

Next, Gauff will be facing Simona Halep.
