Coco Gauff is on the precipice of history. The 19-year-old has long been a considered a top talent, having paired a venomous backhand with impressive court movement. But with an abundance of talent at the top of women’s tennis, it seemed that Gauff’s journey to the Pantheon of American tennis — the US Open — would be lined with potholes.
And yet, here she is. The No. 6 seed in this year’s tournament has enjoyed quite the run so far, showcasing both her rapidly improving skillset as well as the mental fortitude to compete with the best players in the world.
Gauff is one match away from the promised land. Standing in her path is Karolina Muchova, a gifted 27-year-old who has quietly put together one of the best runs of her career thus far.
It should prove an enthralling affair. Gauff is among the most popular players in the sport. The prospect of her reaching her second major final this year is alluring, especially for what will be a pro-Gauff crowd. Coco-mania is in full swing in Queens. All it needs is its lead figure to strut her stuff one more time.
