Coco Gauff’s consistency won through as she defeated Karolina Muchova 6-4, 7-5 to advance to the US Open final
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.
Neither player’s presence in the semi-final was a surprise. The foundations for both of their runs had been built throughout this summer. While Gauff tore across the North American hardcourt swing, winning her two biggest titles in Washington and Cincinnati, Muchová followed up her French Open final by meeting Gauff in that Cincinnati final.
Gauff’s industriousness sharply contrasted with Muchová, who struggled under the elevated pressure. The Czech, who wore a full sleeve on her right arm, struggled to find rhythm off her groundstrokes as Gauff eased to a 5-1 lead. Although Muchová managed to pull Gauff back to 5-4, she then produced another poor service game under pressure, her 14th unforced error ending a poor set that saw just three winners from her racket.
