Coco Gauff has clinched the WTA Finals title after a grueling three-hour battle against China's Zheng Qinwen. This victory marks Gauff as the youngest player to win the tournament since Maria Sharapova in 2004, and the first American to claim the title since Serena Williams, a decade ago.

The 20-year-old displayed remarkable resilience, rallying to a 6-0 lead in the final set tiebreak to secure the championship. "It was a really great match. Qinwen played some unbelievable tennis," Gauff remarked, praising her opponent's performance.

The match saw Olympic gold medalist Zheng win the first set, maintaining strong defense by saving all five break points she faced. However, Gauff surged back, overturning a 3-1 deficit in the second set to push the contest into a thrilling finale.
