NEW YORK : American teenager Coco Gauff can expect a capacity crowd at Arthur Ashe Stadium to be in her corner as she fights formidable second seed Aryna Sabalenka for the U.S. Open crown on Saturday.
"I'm still hoping that probably some of them will be supporting me. Will be just a little bit. Just sometimes, please. Please." Sabalenka recovered from a demoralising 6-0 first set loss to beat the 2017 finalist Keys in a fightback for the ages after scarcely facing much of a challenge earlier in the tournament.
She has produced the best tennis of her career this season, winning in Washington before downing Poland's Swiatek in a breakthrough victory en route to her biggest title in Cincinnati last month. "Even after D.C., didn't think this would happen. Even after Cincy, didn't think this would happen. I'm really proud of myself ... there is still a long ways to go."
