Aryna Sabalenka succumbed to a painful loss to Coco Gauff at the US Open final, despite taking the early and being 1-0 set up.<\/p>\n
However, the 19-year-old teenager managed to pull herself together and produced a stunning comeback, which left the player from Belarus stunned.<\/p>\n
The only consolation for the 25-year-old remains the world No.1 she has inherited from Iga Swiatek, after the Pole crashed out in the 4th round.<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s why probably I\u2019m not super depressed right now. I\u2019m definitely going to be,\u201d Sabalenka said. \u201cI\u2019m definitely going for a drink tonight \u2014 if I\u2019m allowed to say that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m really proud of myself that all those years I have been working so hard helped me to become world No. 1,\u201d Sabalenka said.<\/p>\n
In the end, Sabalenka finished the match with 46 unforced errors with 16 in the final set, while Gauff made only 2, which ultimately decided the match in her favor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
