Teenager Coco Gauff has become the youngest player to win a WTA title in 15 years with victory in the Linz Open.
The 15-year-old American beat Jelena Ostapenko 6-3 1-6 6-2 and is projected to move inside the world’s top 75.
Gauff only qualified for the main draw as a lucky loser after losing in the final round of qualifying.
“It has been an amazing week, I hope to come back here again. I will remember this moment for the rest of my life,” said Atlanta-born Gauff.
