THE Coco Goff and the Arina Sabalenka they are his pair women’s grand final at the US Open.
The 19-year-old American, number 6 in the world, playing… at home, beat the 27-year-old Czech Karolina Mutsova (No.10) with 6-4, 7-5 in 2 hours and 3 minutes and will claim the first Grand Slam title of her career on Saturday. The match was stopped for about 50 minutes in the second set when a group of four activists protesting fossil fuels and hindered the conduct of the match. Although the audience chanted rhythmically to throw them out, it took the two gymnasts to go to the locker room and wait for just under an hour before the protesters were removed.
In the second time semi-final, Aryna Sabalenka made a great comeback and took the victory over the 28-year-old American Madison Keys (No.17) with 0-6, 7-6(1), 10-5 in 2 hours and 32 minutes. The 25-year-old Belarusian (No. 2) lost the first set without taking a game, while in the second she found herself losing 5-4, with her opponent serving, but she fought back and took the victory. The winner of the Australian Open will claim her second major title of the year on Saturday at 11:00 p.m. again playing against… the home team.
