'Really Proud Of Myself': Gauff After Ending 16-Match Win Streak At China Open

Coco Gauff's winning streak is over, but it's not bothering her as she's proud of what she achieved in the previous weeks.

Coco Gauff had an amazing time on home soil in the final weeks of summer. The American opened with a trophy at the Citi Open in Washington continuing her great run with a solid outing in Canada and the Cincinnati Open.

She won the latter one, which became her biggest trophy up until that point, but some two weeks later, she was lifting the US Open trophy. It was the fulfilment of a life-long dream for the teenager who also secured a spot at the WTA Finals, becoming the first teenager to qualify in back-to-back years in a long time.
