Watch on YouTube: Amanda Anisimova vs. Coco Gauff, 2017 US Open girls' final
The future is now for the next generation of American women's tennis. Coco Gauff, 16, is a household name even outside of tennis circles, while Amanda Anisimova, 18, is a Grand Slam semifinalist with a career-high WTA ranking of No. 21.
But in 2017, both young women were still rising juniors, raising their games in New York to reach the girls' single final at their home Slam. Anisimova had turned 16 earlier in the tournament, while eighth-grader Gauff was 13.
In their only junior or pro meeting to date, Anisimova required 10 match points in a 28-point final game to secure the title in the Grandstand.
"I'll definitely be back here," Gauff foretold in her post-match press conference.
Anismova had previously reached a high of No. 2 in the ITF World Junior Rankings in 2016, while Gauff went on to become the youngest-ever junior world No. 1 in 2018 behind a junior French Open title.
The full match, plus scores of other great video content, is now available on our USTA YouTube channel. For a coming attraction, view the match highlights below.
