Gauff made a strong start in the second set and broke Swiatek's serve early but the Polish tennis player kept her cool. After losing the first two games in the second set, Swiatek lost only one game and won the final set 6-3.


18-year-old Gauff was in tears after losing the match as she failed to win her maiden Grand Slam title despite having a dominant show throughout the tournament.
