Yeeeees! A well-deserved win for Coco! She looked great throughout the tournament. She improved her forehand game which makes me very happy. Congratulations Coco! 😍
Keep on embarrassing yourself you loser. Coco Gauff won this tournament only because of umpires and organizers of this tournament were stupid beyond belief. This tournament clearly was fixed and scores of this tournament were manipulated by officials and organizers of this tournament to make Coco Gauff a winner of this tournament.
Once in a blue moon she hits a forehand with her left leg in front and leaning into the shot. Her normal tendency is to hit it off her right leg with her body moving upward (not good). I wonder if this is what she's trying to correct. Anyway -- great match for her. Sakkari only held twice.
@@craigallyn According to dumb and racist chair umpire. This idiot and racist chair umpire clearly didn't know how official tennis rules works.
The forehand is starting look a bit more flat. She should keep working at it though, I mean it can’t get any worse than what it was so it’s great to see her working on it.
Congrats Coco well deserved, getting her first 500 title and first trophy at home
Tank you may friende
Aw! What a dance from a champion. Congratulations Coco
Congratulations Coco! 🎉👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Congratulations Coco 👏🏆🎉🎊
This was a pleasant surprise. This match could have gone either way but, Coco pulled it off. You can definitely tell that her doubles play has helped her at the net. Sakkari is NOT an easy out and I couldn't be happier for Coco. She just had a coaching change and this is certainly a positive beginning for her. Congratulations!!
hands down coco's best tournament so far. after adding brad gilbert and switching coaches, her forehand, serve, service returns, and depth of shots have all improved tremendously. these qualities along with her athleticism and mentality might make her a real contender against the big 3 in montreal.
I would say she fared better with Sabalenka and Rybakina who both played flatter. With Iga, not only she lost every time but she lost too easy in their matchups. Iga’s game is way too much similar with Coco with a lot of spin, but the superior version and Iga’s forehand is a major weapon. In boxing, it’s like saying styles make fights.
@@gtan307 WHO MENTIONED HER?????????? BACK OFF
@@brooklynmona5780you mother did.
@@user-ku9sn8um2f AND DIED
Lol, against the big 3? There are no big 3 in tennis, dude.
Wow brawo Coco !!!
Congratulations Coco You are incredible❤
I know deep in my heart that one day sooner than expected COCO will win a GS. Well deserved win COCO and just super happy for you and your Team.
I think it will happen sooner than people think. Sometimes it also takes a bit of luck with the draw in the slams and being able to take your chances when they come. Mentally she’s strong
I know deep in my heart that you're delusional.
@@funkslave9425 She was in the finals at Roland Garros last year.Not delusional
@@funkslave9425 If you don't like COCO we don't care but don't be so RUDE!
@@tranquilizer3060 Indeed you were, and i stand humbled and corrected. She was simply amazing.
What a week for Coco. Winning in DC without dropping a set and against some quality opponents as well. Still think that forehand sits up too much and can be exploited but Coco put it together this week and from a mental standpoint she was incredibly tough.
Yes, because she was heavily favored by dumb organizers and dumb officials. Coco Gauff isn't that good player to win any tournament that easy. Even Iga Swiatek never won any tournament that easy and she is world's best tennis player at the moment. Now you understand how stupid you are? This tournament clearly was fixed and scores in this tournament were manipulated by organizers and umpires so that Gauff won this tournament. This tournament is a joke and organizers and umpires of this tournament are a joke too.
its a loopy kind of forehand
It’s just the beginning. It’s natural that when you’re doing something new on court you’ll revert back to bad old (bad) habits when under pressure. However, she quickly got back on track and beat an opponent who had a big win streak against her, so it looks good to me!
@@ObservingtheMatrix You are delusional loser and dumb clown. So awarding only Gauff all the games and matches seems fair to you? Now you understand how stupid you are?
Great job to you both! Congratulations COCO!! You have done an excellent job in keeping yourself grounded! This was actually hard to watch because I knew Sakkari was the one to watch out for…. But you did it and I see a great future ahead 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations, Coco! 🎉
Sakkari really goung strong with the best streak in tennis history
Hilarious!!! Shut up! I had to think about it for a second. Yup, you're done!!!💀💀💀
Hey a streak is a streak 🤣
Lol
Coco gauff on different level during this DC title run.
I am very impressed with Coco's improvement. She easily beat different kind of players (a big hitter and crafty Bencic, another big hitter in Samsonova and a fit experienced player in Sakkari). I was specially impressed by her service, the speed, placement and consistency, but also by the few errors with the forehand. Not there yet with Iga, Elena, Aryna or Ons, but getting closer.
Who cares? She is where she is! Ons?
agree
I not even a coco fan, but she beats both rybakina and sabalenka in hth. Hasnt won what they won, but still she can beat them. Swiatek on the other hand just destroys her every time they meet
not really, she just got less difficult opponents... no one of the good GS winners and finalists are here... Sakkari? always competitive yet it's beennnn looooooong that never made it to defeat a GS champ !!! long way to go for Coco... still.
@@edubielalpizar4391for coco right now the challenge is to make it to QF consistently in slams so she only needs to be beating these top 10 players like Sakkari for now. Yes to win slams she will need to figure out Iga, Elena, aryna but if she continues with the level she showed here for the rest of the season she is going to climb into top 5 of the rankings again
A successful and good tournament for Coco Gauff! Congratulations!!!
Wonderful tennis from coco throughout the tournament, deserved winner 🎉
Good job Coco. You deserved to win. 👍👏
Congratulations Coco. More successes with your new team.
Coco had an amazing tournament run. She is getting better, and her playing style is getting more free like. Confidence, good tennis, having fun and feeling less pressure is a tough combination for any opponent.
I see so many remnants of Venus and Serena in Coco’s end of the match celebration! Well done, Coco!!! 🙏🏾😃❤️
And that’s about all she has like Venus and Serena! 😂😂😂
Yes, so fierce on the court then like giddy little schoolgirls in victory.
Umpires and organizers of this tournament clearly seems to have crush on Coco Gauff and that's why they favored her.
Yes ghetto
Let Coco be Coco,
Go Champ! Go Coco! Incredible. I knew I just knew Sakkari was going to choke. But this is progress at least. She reached the final.
I love coco’s game over all. I have always been a fan of hers. She has resilience which is definitely needed when go up against the odds.
Great tournament win for coco and that forehand is starting to turn into a strength and not a exploited weakness of hers anymore
So happy for her. Well deserved 🍾
Not only did she win but she looked to be having fun. Could be bc this is her home tournament but I hope she carries this attitude to the rest of the tournaments
Losing first round of Wimbledon was obviously a wake up call to work on the areas of her game holding her back. Great way to respond to a setback and it was necessary.
That tournament was organized and officiated by competent organizers and umpires overall unlike this tournament.
@@einarsd4 Wants some salt with those fries.
@@einarsd4go to war troll
@@lyd2460 You do realize that Sakkari is from Greece and not from Russia or Belarus you dumb troll?
@@fallendevonish1869 You are delusional troll. Coco Gauff is way worse than Iga Swiatek and even 1ga Swiatek never won any tournament this easily. This only shows how corrupt this tournament organizers and officials were.
very good coco!🥳
whats wrong with WTA Highlights? why mostly moments of the video is sakkari points? watching this looks like sakkari won the match and Gauff was more superior. i dont know whats wrong honestly.
@@countessofmontecristo3849If the WTA was favoring Gauff, it wasn't because of race.........it was because she has really improved her game since going out in the first round at Wimbledon. She has played well in this tournament and never lost a set!
Yes its a shame to only give the Sakkari points and almost nothing of the points Coco made. What is wrong with WTA? Do they hate her?
When young players discover the transition game it puts a smile on my face🦉
Congratulations to gauff deserve it after Wimbledon early loses she recover quickly and back with amazing tournaments Congratulations and good luck in rogers Cup
Wow, it was very impressive. Adding Brad Gilbert to her team made a big difference in her game. Well played, Coco
Great game/ win for Coco . Congrats ✅💪🏾💚
Love Coco! She looked so relaxed and controlled out there! ❤
This was a good one. That FH is getting stronger. Coming back from a break down is most impressive because Sakkari was on a mission in the 2nd. She's gettin there, step by step.
I really thought Sakkari would take this, but i had no idea who that teener COCO was! I was SO happy for COCO, although I would've been happy for either of them to win. Sakkari is one of my fav players. When I saw Bencic quite literally having a hard time with COCO...! Bencic! I said to myself , no this is a fluid , confident, TOTALLY different COCO. Something good has happened here! I knew she had it in her, the question was WHEN was COCO get it together? C'mon, this was the kid that beat Venus @ the age of 15yrs.! And the world caught Cocomania! COCO was one of those little girls that watched VENUS and SERENA and walked through the door. I want Sakkari ,who everyone KNOWS has game ,get the right people around her and start lifting some HARDWARE and the same for COCO. Congratulations COCO!
2 great ladies. Wonderful day for COCO. Stay stronger.
1st set was very impressive and the second set showed the improvements she had since the last time she played. Her forehand is impressive and the mental fortitude she showed in the Second set is great. Good luck Coco!!!
Congratulations to Coco Gaulf
Congratulations Gauff for winning this title.
Well done Coco❤🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congratulations Coco Gauff. Well deserved win.
Congratulations coco you're a good way to be number one wish more victories to you love
WAY TO GO COCO
Big congrats to CoCo I love her ❤❤❤❤
Awful compilation of highlights. No gauff highlights in the 2nd set which she won 6-3 until championship point??
That was outstanding!!!! Go Coco!!!! We love rooting for you!!💚💚💚👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Too bad for Maria, her usual self: making semis, sometimes finals but never winning a title. I feel for her. Congrats to Coco.
Now, US Open Champion 🎉
Congrats Gauff, she is getting better now. Lets see when she meets those top 3
Coco's game improved so much as soon as Brad Gilbert joined the coaching staff..Her competitive readiness start to jumped into higher level..The tactical and strategic component start to see favorable results, That is the most awaited development that was missing in her game..What a turn around..She looks more of a true warrior out there in the court now..Well acomplishment mom and dad..great move! Well, cogratulations Coco to a well deserved victory!
Dance on dear! You deserve it
Happy for Gauff!
Was rooting Sakkari today but she’s getting better .
Big win for Coco. Though both players had trouble holding their serve in the 2nd set, Coco finished off with a couple of good games on serve while Sakkari had a couple of double faults to give Coco a 5-3 lead. People tend to forget that Coco is still 19. I think she is beginning figure out how to problem solve while on the court. Seems like Brad Gilbert has already had an impact on her overall approach. The forehand seems less loopy while her serve seems less predictable.
Double faults which were clearly made up by dumb chair umpire.
@@einarsd4 I watched the match. How is hitting a second serve into the net a missed call? When you are blaiming the umpire or referee, then you are probably losing. When I was watching the match live, all of Sakkari's serves in the 8th game of the 2nd set looked to be out or they didn't make it over the net. She seemed tentative and played not to lose which isn't a winning strategy.
@@wrayven You are delusional loser. How is hitting the ball in correct service court not missed call by chair umpire? Plus it was only then an out when Sakkari missed her shots, but when Gauff clearly missed her shots it never was an out according to this dumbass of the chair umpire.
Love the play of Coco and love the celebration as well 😉
No Surprise here. Another choke job from Sakkari. She’s now 1/8 in WTA Finals.
Totally amazing! Way to go COCO…😊✨💕✔️🎾
Sakkari 1-7 in the finals… such an impressive record…
She's a choke artist
But she has a rabat slam 😂 its enough
❤🎾👏👏👏👏👏 Cette victoire va lui donner confiance jusqu'au dernier tournoi du grand chelem
Ooh Coco! Well played. You deserve it.
What in the world has Gilbert done?! The way she won this tournament was SCARY! Oh I really want to see the Jessi match up in the semis! ❤❤❤
Scary? Are you joking? Gauff defeated Baptiste, out of form Bencić, mediocre Samsonova and Sakkari in final mode. Let's wait for WTA 1000 and slams.
@vojtasjedyny She went from 1st round lose to winning a 500. Stop trying to minimize her achievements, her growth, or her hard work. It's gross. I never said the 1000s are a different challenge, but this turn around was remarkable. Also... how is Belinda out of form? She just took Iga to 3... and even if all those people were "out if form" to lose an overage of 4 games per match across the entire tournament is impressive. Simmer down.
@@ivanhall6482 Bencic is out of form. she should have won against Iga. All Bencic does is self destruct and throw tantrums. Really not hard to beat her just takes a mentally stable person
Coco’s forehand has improved quite some and she is a heavy hitter now ! He serve has improved quite some , not fully there ! She is definitely 💯 on a roll ! Slowly but surely she is coming into her own ! Sakkari just could not match Coco’a witty all around the court game ! Congratulations 🎉🍾🎈🎊
Coco is definitely playing a more aggressive game. That's what she's gonna need to win the 1000s & slams. I feel if she can make her serve more consistent, that will take the pressure off the rest of her game.
The serve looking great !
Congratulations Coco idol 👏👏👏👏
Milly Rock Coco!! Job well done, young lady!!
It is absolutely an immense accomplishment which was attained by Coco Gauff, capturing a WTA title on the home soil is really special for her. She keeps fostering her agility and adaptability within this continuum. Excluding few weak aspects and attributes, Coco is entirely a versatile competitor with her aptitudes and techniques. I am certain that she will perpetuate her this evolution in the upcoming seasons in order to reach the level of the other potent rivals. Huge congrats to American star! Well-deserved title!
YEAH! Coco - brilliant job! 💜💜
New coach,new journey.
Only real fans realize the twirl she did was a nod to the Williams sisters and we LOVE to see it!
Congratulations Coco🎉❤
Coco!!!❤❤❤
oh gosh another brutal final's loss for Maria. that trend is heartbreaking just always losing finals
Congratulations Coco 🥳🥳🥳🥳
Congrats to COCO for her 1st big title in her life.
Congrats to both ladies on an excellent tournament. Strange highlights. Shows a winner by Maria and then they show the scoreboard and Coco would had won a couple games.
Congratulations 🎊 Coco well done 👏 ✔ 👍
Amazing what good coaching can do.. unbelievable
Sakkari and Jabeur has the worst mental in woman's tennis right now How many finals they lost ? Congrats to coco tho she deserves it ❤️🙏
Congrats, I'm Over The Moon For CoCo Especially Win On Home Turf..!
Super happy for Coco. Well-done 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 And it's great seeing Maria make the Final. I bet no one was expecting that.
Reading these comments makes you think Gilbert taught her how to play tennis. She already had a great team and foundation. And as far as I know, her new head coach is Pere Riba.
Smart move adding Gilbert...whenever he is involved players win matches
Sakkari cried during her runner up speech…the runner up plates are starting to get to her. Gauff served well though.
Having a new coach is paying off. Keep the good work Coco.
Congratulations Coco!!!!
Coach Arthur G.O.A.T tennis superstar.💯😎
WOW AWESOME COCO!!!
Maravilloso es una gran jugadora
Coco definitely hitting that forehand with confidence her backhand is on fleet if she’s consistent with the 4 hand it’s on and poppin.
Congrats and Well done Coco ✨
Her forehand looks better but still clearly the weaker of the two wings. I don’t mind the slightly slower pace she has on the forehand wing, but a little more depth would do a lot more damage from that side. Her backhand is world class, but it simply can’t be her only weapon for her to be a serious threat to the likes of Swiatek, Sabalenka, and Rybakina
To iga for sure not, she already has beaten the other 2, she actually leads the hth with both sabalenka and rybakina
Gauff played better than I've seen her all year. Her team made a good decision bringing in Brad Gilbert as a consultant. OTOH, Sakkari totally self-destructed. This match could've been much more competitive.
I OMG !! I’m so happy for you Congratulations ❤
Coco won this by being more consistent. Return and serve game improved along with the forehand. Sakkari just inconsistent at times and feel sorry for her. Congrats to Coco but still a long way from challenging the top 3 but looking good
CONGRATS COCO
She looks a lot stronger! 🔥🙌🏽
I am so happy for Coco!
