Coco Gauff says she has shaken off the pressure she felt as a 15-year-old and is ready to win a first Grand Slam against heavy favourite Iga Swiatek in the French Open final.
Gauff first broke through by reaching the Wimbledon fourth round in 2019.
The 18-year-old says her change in perspective will help her try to end Swiatek's superb 34-match unbeaten run.
"I always wanted to play her in a final - I just didn't think it would happen so soon," American Gauff said.
Swiatek, champion in Paris in 2020, is the overwhelming favourite at Roland Garros, having won the past eight finals she has played in and claimed five successive titles this year alone.
