Gauff said she heads into the final as the underdog against Swiatek, who has now won 34 matches in a row on the WTA Tour.

"I'm just going to play free and play my best tennis. I think in a grand slam final anything can happen."

Gauff is yet to drop a set in the tournament and is the youngest finalist at any grand slam in 18 years.

Her stunning achievement left tennis fans in a frenzy on social media, with the popular star even getting a shout-out from a former first lady of the United States.

"If I do lift the trophy, honestly, I don't think my life is going to change really," Gauff said.

"I know it sounds kind of bad to say that, but the people who love me are still going to love me regardless if I lift the trophy or not."
