Gauff is one of the most highly-rated young tennis players in
the women’s circuit. She lived up to the hype in the recently concluded US Open
where she ended up lifting the title after beating the current world number one
Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
While doing so, she became the youngest American to lift the
US Open title since Serena Williams in 1999.
That was not the only success Gauff has had ever since a
disappointing outing in Wimbledon where she was knocked out from the first round.
She won the Citi Open after defeating Greece’s Maria Sakkari
in the final with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
Later, she also went on to win the Cincinnati Open (Western &
Southern Open) after getting the better of Karolina Muchova in the final with a
score of 6-3, 6-4.
