American teen Coco Gauff has stormed into the U.S. Open semifinals playing the best tennis of her life.
playing the best tennis of her life, and arguably the best of any woman in the world today.
Her talent is a given, but the rest is learned — and the 19-year-old Gauff has had good teachers. Pere Riba and newly added Brad Gilbert have excelled as coaches, but Gauff’s parents have kept her grounded and her grandmother — who integrated her Florida school in the 1960s — has inspired her. Her dad, Corey, was a Georgia State hoops star and also her coach. Her mom, Candi, was a Florida State heptathlete who is her moral support. Both keep Gauff grounded.“In sports, it can be difficult sometimes because people forget you’re a person,” Gauff said. “When you lose, they say all types of things about you. It’s important that you really know yourself, because it’s very easy to feed into what you should and shouldn’t do when everyone’s giving their opinions.
Well is an understatement. In the semfinals on Thursday, Gauff will face No. 10 Karolina Muchova, whom she beat in the finals at Cincinnati. Gauff is the first American teen to make the semis at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams, her idol.
