"Press, treatment, watch some anime - I literally watched about four or five episodes of My Hero Academia. I may watch some of the match, maybe not.

Firstly, on the support she received from the crowd:
“Thank you guys so much. Some of those points were so loud and I don’t know if my ears are going to be OK.
"No, be even louder! Thank you guys so much. This is crazy.
"I grew up watching this tournament so much so this means a lot to me to be in a final.
"[There is] a lot to celebrate but the job is not done and hopefully you guys can back me on Saturday."
On two-time champion Naomi Osaka watching on:
“I did not notice she was sitting here until now but thanks for coming. I remember the moment we had on this court three years ago and it meant a lot to me.
"I’m so excited to have you back on tour and hopefully I get to meet your daughter. Hi to your mum too."

There it is!! At last!
Coco Gauff takes her sixth match point to secure her first US Open final.
The American punches the air. The New York crowd rise to their feet. It has been a bizarre semi-final, interrupted halfway, and it took everything Gauff had to close that out.
But she has managed to do just that. And that means an awful lot.

The longest rally of the match – and perhaps the most priceless one for Coco Gauff.

The biggest cheer of the night - so far - greets a forehand winner from Gauff who races forward to end a nerve-shredding 40 shot rally and set up her SIXTH match point.

Match point number five!
Is this the one?
No!! Goodness me. We've hit the two-hour mark in this match, not including a 50 minute delay caused by protestors, and now Coco Gauff has seen five match points go begging.

Gauff is just mis-hitting that cross court forehand.
She has to keep it down the line.

This is agonising for Gauff and the majority of the Arthur Ashe crowd.
Four match points missed. On we go.

Gauff can't add the finishing touch just yet, pulling a forehand wide.
She's still battling away, though, and earns a fourth shot at victory as Muchova misses a backhand.

A stunning forehand from Muchova rescues a second match point.
A third to follow...

That's long from Muchova!
Two more match points for Coco Gauff.
The crowd rally behind the teenager. Is this her moment?

Serving to stay in the match, Karolina Muchova double-faults.
That gets the crowd excited, but groans follow as Coco Gauff finds the net.
The American forces an error to move two points from victory.

This is what prime time at the US Open is all about.

One match point has come and gone for Coco Gauff.
Can she finish this right here? The pressure is back on Karolina Muchova to try and keep her hopes alive.

It's great news for Gauff, however. The American unleashes a couple of booming backhands on her way to a comfortable hold and she can attack the Czech's serve here with nothing to lose before a potential tie-break.
*Gauff 6-4 5-5 Muchova
That's twice now in this match that Coco Gauff has blinked when it really matters. Will that play on her mind if she manages to create another opportunity to see this out?
Karolina Muchova will take confidence from seeing her young opponent fall short in another key game - but she's yet to trouble the American's serve.
Gauff is clearly not dwelling on it, though! What a point - and what a winner that is, drilling a terrific forehand past Muchova. But it's not enough to deny the Czech here.

Oh boy. It seemed like Coco Gauff tried to change the pace of the forehand for the last few points.

From match point down, Muchova breaks back. Drama.

Wow, did Muchova go for those shots. She threw it all out there.
