In fact, her performance put Aryna Sabalenka under so much pressure that she was seen committing way too many unforced errors. 

Coco played tremendously in the last two sets to turn things around and register a sensational comeback victory. She defeated Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 in the final to win the first Grand Slam of her life. After the victory, she was overwhelmed by emotion and broke down in tears. In a recent viral video, the player can also be seen praying to God on the court after winning the final.

“It’s unbelievable, I’m just happy to be here in this moment, I’d like to thank my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. It’s been a lot of nights alone crying trying to figure it out. And you know, I still have a lot to figure out. But you know, I thank Him for covering me,” she said after winning the trophy.
