American teenage sensation
Coco Gauff posted a picture of her first driver's license on her Instagram story.
The 18-year-old has had a pretty decent season so far, during which she reached her maiden Grand Slam final.
Gauff hit new strides in 2022 and recently got her first driver's license, a Class E which is specifically for drivers under the age of 21. The 18-year-old posted an image of her license on her Instagram story with the caption:
"Officially on the road."
Gauff entered the top 10 of the WTA rankings following her quarterfinal run at the
US Open, eventually losing to in-form Frenchwoman Caroline Garcia. Nonetheless, the American climbed four spots to No.8 in the WTA rankings. In the process, Gauff became the youngest female top-10 player since Nicole Vaidisova in 2006.
The 2022 French Open finalist is currently in sixth place in the race to the WTA Finals and has a good chance of competing at the year-end tournament in Fort Worth, Texas. Gauff is currently 454 points behind a breakthrough into the top-5. Some strong performances for the rest of the season could see her mark another wonderful milestone by the end of 2022.
