Gauff, a 19-year-old from Florida, reached her first final at Flushing Meadows by defeating Muchova 6-4, 7-5 on what was anything but an ordinary evening.
"I really believe that now I have the maturity and ability to do it," said Gauff, who came close to a major trophy last year in the French Open but lost the title match. "You know, regardless of what happens on Saturday, I'm really proud of how I have been handling the last few weeks."
Tiebreakers at 6-all in the third sets of women's Grand Slam matches now are first-to-10 - unlike the old first-to-seven setup - but Sabalenka clearly forgot that. When she moved out front 7-3, she dropped her racket and put her hands to her face, covering a huge smile. Then Sabalenka quickly realized there was work to be done and finished the job on her third match point.
She is the first American teenager to make it to the title match in New York since Serena Williams, one of her idols, then quoted another, the late NBA star Kobe Bryant, by telling the fans: "Job's not done." Two other protesters were given trespassing notices by the US Open which effectively puts them on notice that they are no longer permitted on the grounds and could be arrested should they ever return to the venue.
"After Wimbledon, I wasn't expecting to do well, honestly, in this hard-court season," Gauff said, "so I'm really proud of the way I have been able to turn this season around for me." "Just kind of sad about the performance," said Muchova, who reached the final at Roland Garros in June.
