It didn't start the perfect way for Coco Gauff in New York City at the US Open final. She looked destined to finish runner-up in another Grand Slam final, with the new WTA World No.1 Aryna Sabalenka poised to win her second major of the season after the Australian Open. But how wrong we were.


Now coached by Brad Gilbert, Coco Gauff became a wall from the back of the court, and simply nothing went past her in the next two sets. With answers to everything Sabalenka tried, Gauff became now destined to lift the trophy at home. And lift the trophy she did. At 19 years of age, Coco Gauff`s career, now seemingly so much longer than anyone would expect for someone that young, has reached new heights at Grand Slam level. The sky is the limit for the young American!


And in the second half of the podcast, Andre and Owen just couldn't help but chat a little about tomorrow's men's final between Novak Djokovic and unexpected (though not less talented) Daniil Medvedev. What will happen in the 2021 US Open men's final rematch?
