Au revoir!

Victory has a new face. Coco Gauff claimed the US Open women’s singles title at age nineteen, echoing Serena Williams’s iconic teenage triumph in 1999. With her current world ranking at No. 3, she is the youngest American to win a Grand Slam title in this century. In 2019, a then fifteen-year-old Gauff stunned the tennis world by defeating Venus Williams at Wimbledon. Both Williams sisters have significantly shaped her tennis trajectory. During the 2020 Australian Open, Serena lauded Gauff as being “impressive all around.” Off the court, her Christian faith remains her steadfast anchor; she prays with her father before each match for strength and safety. Her journey, marked by grace and determination, is just beginning.
