America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff is on the verge of achieving another milestone in the US Open 2023.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is moving towards its conclusion where remaining players are still battling it out to secure the ultimate prize.
Gauff has booked her place in the final of the mega-event after defeating Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova in straight sets with a score of 6-4, 7-5.
She is now set to face off the newly-crowned world number one Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka in the final at the Flashing Medows.
While all the eyes will be on the result, Gauff will also be looking at how it will impact the WTA rankings as well.
In case of a win, the Atlanta-born will go as high as third in the WTA rankings whereas a defeat will keep her in fifth place.
It will be interesting to see how Gauff will perform in her second appearance in the final of a Grand Slam after finishing runner-up in the French Open 2022 where she came second-best against the former world number one Poland’s Iga Swiatek with a score of 6-1, 6-3.
