FLUSHING MEADOWS, NY – After two weeks of heat and angst, the No. 2 seed (No. 1 on Monday) and the No. 6 seed meet for the women’s singles title Saturday.

Aryna Sabalenka was looking for her second major of the season.

Coco Gauff was looking for the first of her career, and at home. She had the crowd without a doubt. And she had the tennis – really, the defense – to pull it off. and the confidence to keep believing even after a rough first set.

Her life – already changing by the month – will be forever altered at age 19.
