The World
No. 6 is competing this week in the Billie Jean King Cup as part of the United
States team. In her first match, she secured a comfortable victory against
Austrian player Julia Grabher, putting her country ahead in the series with a
2-0 lead after Jessica Pegula's win over Sinja Krauss.
The
American player delighted a group of ball kids during the tournament held in
Delray Beach. In partnership with New Balance, they gifted shoes from Coco
Gauff's collection to the all-girl ball kid crew.
The
19-year-old player also played doubles on Saturday alongside Caty McNally,
defeating the Austrian duo of Klaffner and Kraus.
