Coco Gauff pays attention to what people say about her online and occasionally takes pleasure in clapping back.

On Saturday, the 20-year-old survived a three-hour thriller in the Riyadh final and edged out Zheng Qinwen 3-6 6-4 7-6 (2). A couple of times during the match, the American had her back turned against the wall but managed to come back and ultimately win.

Coco Gauff added another big title to her resume on Saturday by capturing her first WTA Finals title after beating Qinwen Zheng in a three-set thriller, 3–6, 6–4, 7–6.
