This is her first trophy from one of the four biggest world tournaments and in the second final, since last year she lost in the match for the Roland Garros trophy. Goff easily lost the first set and when everyone thought that she would not have the strength for a debut success, she played phenomenally and won the next two sets in which she lost only five games. Goff is only the tenth teenager to triumph at the tournament in New York, and the first from the United States to do so before the age of 20 in the last nearly 25 years, that is, after Serena Williams in 1999.
