What Happened To Coco Gauff After winning career's biggest title in Cincinnati - "This is unbelievable"...

Coco Gauff won the biggest title of her young career at the Cincinnati Open on Sunday, beating Czech Karolina Muchova 6-3 6-4 in the final. 

With the victory, the American teenager has extended her outstanding run of form on North American hard courts ahead of the U.S. Open. Gauff, seeded seventh, broke the Czech three times in the first set and confidently served out the opener to love in her first WTA 1000 final appearance.

Muchova was too inconsistent on a hot day in Ohio, committing 35 unforced errors in the match and badly missing a backhand down the line to hand Gauff the break and a 3-2 second-set lead.

Gauff had some trouble getting over the finish line, failing to convert three match point opportunities while serving at 5-2 thanks to some tentative groundstrokes. But she did not falter on her next chance as Muchova’s return landed wide, leaving Gauff to jump up and down in jubilation.

Muchova, who was ranked 235 in the world a year ago amid injury woes, will enter into the world’s top 10 for the first time despite the loss. Gauff, who improved her record to 11-1 since falling in the first round of Wimbledon last month, looks poised to be a real threat when she arrives in New York for the final major of the year.

The tournament will run from 28 August till 10 September. “This is unbelievable, especially after everything I went through in the summer in Europe,” Gauff said during the trophy presentation.

Coco Gauff admits 'a lot of nights crying' after winning Cincinnati Open title 

Coco Gauff admitted that she has "spent a lot of nights crying" as she won the biggest title of her career at the Cincinnati Open. 

The 19-year-old needed an hour and 56 minutes to defeat Karolina Muchova 6-3 6-4 and win her first WTA 1000 event. And she confessed that it had been a tough summer before she managed to turn things around. Gauff is enjoying one of the best months of her career so far. 

Less than three weeks ago she lifted her maiden WTA 500 trophy, the biggest title of her career at that point. And she has already gone one better by winning a 1000-point tournament for the first time. Since crashing out of Wimbledon in the first round, the American is an impressive 11-1 in wins and losses. 

And the world No 7 got candid as she explained just what it meant to be crowned the champion in Cincinnati after a disappointing start to the summer. "This is unbelievable you know, especially after everything I went through earlier in the summer in Europe," Gauff started.

"I’m just happy to be here in this moment. I’d like to thank my Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I spent a lot of nights at home crying, trying to figure it out."
