Teenage sensation Coco Gauff has come from a set and break down to make a winning US Open debut at age 15.
The American beat Anastasia Potapova 3-6 6-2 6-4 with the players’ combined age of 33, making it the youngest match-up of the first round at Flushing Meadows.
Gauff got a wild-card entry from the US Tennis Association after making a surprising run to the fourth round at Wimbledon last month in the first grand slam tournament of her career.
The American fell behind 3-0 at the start against Potapova, an 18-year-old from Russia, then was broken to begin the second set and third before turning things around at Louis Armstrong Stadium.
Gauff is a French Open junior champion and US Open junior runner-up.
