"You shine brighter than ever": Federer congratulates Gauff on US Open title with comparison picture

Legendary tennis player Switzerland’s Roger Federer has heaped praise on America’s young sensation Coco Gauff after her triumph at the US Open 2023.
The fourth and final Grand Slam of the year is moving towards its conclusion as the women’s singles category final was played on Saturday.
It was America’s young tennis star Gauff who came out on top against the newly-crowned world number one Belarus’ Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Federer, who is termed by many as one of the greatest players in the history of men’s singles tennis in the Open era, heaped praise on Gauff in a post on his official account on X, previously known as Twitter.
“Inspirational win @CocoGauff. Been watching your and following you for years. It’s great to see so much hard work and passion being rewarded. You shine brighter than ever,” he posted.
Federer announced his retirement last year in September after struggling with fitness concerns for a very long time.
The 41-year-old finished his illustrious career at the highest level with 20 Grand Slam titles to his name.
He was the first player in the men’s singles category in the Open era to win more than 15 major titles and was the first to win 20 Grand Slams in his career.
Federer’s most successful competition was Wimbledon where he ended up lifting the title as many as eight times which is still a record in the tournament’s history.
