Coco Gauff won the biggest trophy of her career, and she expressed a lot of gratitude for this moment.
Since her arrival on the WTA Tour, many knew that Gauff would win trophies like that. Despite being part of the top for a while, the American didn't have any signature trophies yet. She won a couple of big ones in doubles and became world number one, but in singles, it was a bigger struggle.
She won her biggest trophy up until that point recently at the 2023 Citi Open in Washington. A few weeks later, she has a WTA 1000 trophy that came after she beat Karolina Muchova in the final of the 2023 Cincinnati Masters.
Speaking during the trophy ceremony after the match Gauff reflected on some of her biggest moments of doubts admitting to crying while trying to figure things out, and started her speech by thanking her lord and savior Jesus Chrsit.
Things finally falling into place meant a lot to her, and she expressed a lot of gratitude in her speech after getting the trophy. She's overcome some shaky moments in Europe playing rather poorly on clay which was unusual for her. After all, she played in the Roland Garros final last year but couldn't really replicate that level this year.
"This is unbelievable. Especially after what I went through in Europe ealire this summer. I'm just happy to be in this moment. I’d like to thank my lord and savior Jesus Christ. I spent a lot of nights alone, crying trying to figure it out. I still have a lot to figure out, but I thank him for covering me."
She now has time to process this victory but will soon have to get back to work in order to prepare for the upcoming US Open.
