Two American tennis players have been named in The New York
Times’ 71 most stylish people in 2023 list.
World number three in the women’s
singles category
Coco Gauff and her fellow countryman and world number 16 in
the men’s singles category
Frances Tiafoe have been named in the list published
by media organisation.
Gauff is often termed as one of the
most highly-rated player currently playing in the women’s singles category. She
had a fabulous year at the highest level where she ended up winning her maiden
Grand Slam.
Gauff defeated the current world
number two Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the final of the US Open 2023 with a
score of 2–6, 6–3, 6–2. Later, she also ended up playing in the semifinal of
the WTA Finals event where she lost to fellow American Jessica Pegula with a
score of 6-2, 6-1.
On the other hand, Tiafoe did not
have a great outing in 2023 as he only managed to play in the fourth round or
beyond once despite playing in the main round of all Grand Slams. His most
notable performance came at the US Open where he played in the quarterfinal but
lost to fellow American Ben Shelton with a score of 6-2, 3-6, 7-6, 6-2.
