Coco Gauff Makes History At Us Open As She Heads To The Quarterfinals

Coco Gauff’s remarkable achievement at the US Open saw her become the first American teenager to reach the semi-finals since Serena Williams in 2001.

The 19-year-old’s exceptional performance inside Arthur Ashe Stadium resulted in a resounding 6-0, 6-2 victory over Jelena Ostapenko, with her only conceding two games.

In doing so, she became the first American teenager since Serena Williams to reach back-to-back quarterfinals at the U.S. Open, according to the Women’s Tennis Association.

Gauff’s U.S. Open run ended last year in the quarterfinals, though it did push her into the top 10 for the first time in her career.

Last month, Gauff, currently ranked No. 6 in the world, won the Western & Southern Open in Cincinnati, becoming the youngest player to do so.

Just a few weeks before that win, Gauff took home the title at the Mubadala Citi DC Open in Washington, D.C.

Gauff, who trains in Delray Beach, Florida, is the fourth American tennis player to reach the quarterfinals at this year’s U.S. Open.
