Gauff has etched her name into tennis history as the first American teenager to win a Women’s Singles Grand Slam title this century, following in the footsteps of the legendary Serena Williams, who last accomplished this feat at the US Open in 1999.
Coco Gauff’s incredible path to this historic victory has been nothing short of spectacular. Her amazing talent, unwavering dedication, and astonishing coolness under duress were all on display on the hallowed grounds of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
“Today was the first time I’ve seen my dad cry. Thank you guys. You believed in me from the beginning. I’ve been coming to this tournament, sitting right there watching Venus & Serena compete. It’s incredible,” said Coco Gauff in her post-match comments.
Gauff’s accomplishment is significant for reasons other than her individual success. Since 2020, she has been the only player to overcome the tough Aryna Sabalenka at least once per year, defeating the Belarusian powerhouse in 2020, 2021, 2022, and currently in 2023. Her ability to repeatedly defeat one of the most dominant forces in women’s tennis is a clear indication of her increasing star power and potential to rule the sport for many years.
Coco Gauff, in particular, joins an elite club of American teens who have won Women’s Singles titles at Grand Slam events during the Open Era. The famous Tracy Austin and the incomparable Serena Williams are among the illustrious quintet. Gauff’s name has finally taken its appropriate place.
