Neuf ans apr\u00e8s son idole Serena Williams, la p\u00e9pite am\u00e9ricaine Coco Gauff a brandi samedi le troph\u00e9e de l\u2019US Open, son premier en Grand Chelem, gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 une victoire arrach\u00e9e \u00e0 la B\u00e9larusse Aryna Sabalenka. \u201cPetite, je venais \u00e0 ce tournoi et j\u2019\u00e9tais assise dans ces tribunes pour voir Venus et Serena jouer… C\u2019est incroyable\u201d, a lanc\u00e9 la joueuse de 19 ans dans l\u2019un de ses tout premiers commentaires.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Apr\u00e8s un premier \u00e9chec en finale d\u2019un Majeur en 2022 \u00e0 Roland-Garros, et tandis qu\u2019elle n\u2019avait encore jamais pass\u00e9 les quarts \u00e0 Flushing Meadows, Gauff s\u2019est impos\u00e9e 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 face \u00e0 Sabalenka en profitant de la nu\u00e9e de fautes directes de son adversaire (46). Avec cette victoire, elle se hissera \u00e9galement lundi au troisi\u00e8me rang mondial, son meilleur classement. Quant \u00e0 Sabalenka, elle \u00e9tait d\u00e9j\u00e0 assur\u00e9e de devenir N.1 apr\u00e8s la d\u00e9faite en 8es de finale de la tenante du titre Iga Swiatek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Devant plus de 28.000 spectateurs venus la soutenir dans les tribunes et autour du court Arthur-Ashe, Gauff a donn\u00e9 une le\u00e7on de courage. Alors que son adversaire tentait de la promener avec ses grands coups puissants, l\u2019Am\u00e9ricaine a r\u00e9pondu par une d\u00e9fense h\u00e9ro\u00efque, qui a compl\u00e8tement fait craquer son adversaire et qui a d\u00fb plaire \u00e0 son coach Brad Gilbert, l\u2019ancien joueur auteur d\u2019un livre intitul\u00e9 Winning ugly (gagner \u00e0 tout prix).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
