Photo: FREY/Getty Images If anyone will save us, it’s the teens, and 15-year-old tennis sensation Cori “Coco” Gauff is our new favorite prodigy on which to hang our hopes and dreams. The Florida athlete — who was born in 2004 — dominated in her first match last night at the U.S. Open, and now the world is asking, who is this wildly talented teenager?
Gauff’s parents told Good Morning America in July that they “hadn’t seen many African-American women in the sport, so when they started winning and having success and trailblazing,” her father said, “some of the challenges that they went through made it a lot easier to get into the sport and it allowed us to be a lot more confident about choosing [tennis].”
