This year, a handful of Americans made strides into the second week of the USO: - Taylor Fritz, Frances Tiafoe and Jessica Pegula. Ben Shelton and Madison Keys went as far as the SFs. But the big news is that the youngest of all the Americans at 19 years old went the distance and lifted the trophy for the women's championship - CoCo Gauff - her 1st Major title after winning the Cincinnati Western & Southern Open 1000 just the week before!
On the men's side, there were fewer surprises other than Ben Shelton's feat, and Novak Djokovic lifted his 24th Major title.
Congratulations to all of this year's final Major champions:
Men's Singles: Novak Djokovic d. Daniil Medvedev
Women Singles: Cori Gauff d.Aryna Sabalenka
Men's Doubles: Ram/Salisbury d. Bopanna/Ebden
Women Doubles: Dabrowski/Routiffe d. Siegemund/Zvonareva
Mixed Doubles: Danilina/Heliovaara d. Pegula/Krajicek
