Coco Gauff Changing the Tennis Game

Coco+Gauff+Changing+the+Tennis+Game

Over the past few weeks there has been quite some controversy regarding the 19- year old tennis player Coco Gauff and her opponent Laura Siegemund at the 2023 US Open doubles match in New York City. From Siegemund purposely delaying her serves to breaking very small rules on the tennis court, it sure was a dramatic display of poor sportsmanship. All of which failed in slowing down the young prodigy Coco Gauff, allowing her to advance to the US Open semi-finals. The reason why this is such a big deal is because there hasn’t been a teenager playing in the semi finals since Serena Williams and her sister Venus. Serena retired back in September 2022 and Venus is still a competitor in the tennis world. Taking into consideration that Gauff turned pro at the young age of 15, she’s only been competing 4 years professionally since then, making this an outstanding feat that not many will get the chance to accomplish in their lifetime. Despite not knowing how the semi finals will play out, it’s obvious that Gauff’s name will go down in the Tennis Hall of Fame.
