Months after reaching her first Grand Slam final at the French Open, Coco Gauff is making her deepest run yet at her home major
Even when she isn’t in the middle of a match, Coco Gauff is always running. Around the grounds of the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, she waves off the player security detail and prefers to sprint, headphones on, everywhere she needs to go.The strangest part isn’t that one of the brightest young talents in women’s tennis dashes around the U.S. Open like she’s late for calculus class. It’s where she’s running to.
Gauff, still only 18, can use all the preparation she can get. For the player just a few months removed from high school, this is her first foray into the second week of the U.S. Open. And in a season that has already seen her become the world’s No. 1 ranked doubles player, she’s checking off milestones by the month. Back in June, Gauff also got her first taste of a Grand Slam tournament final at Roland-Garros.to world No. 1 Iga Swiatek, the experience taught her two lessons.
Gauff is normally a little more reserved. She says she finds it awkward when she can hear herself scream. In New York, though, the 24,000 fans watching her in person are more than happy to drown her out. And Gauff’s next opponent, Caroline Garcia of France, already knows to expect a hostile crowd inside Ashe when they meet on Tuesday for a place in the semis.
