When Coco Gauff won the US Open (and our hearts) last September, she was deemed Tennis’s next big American star. After powerhouses like Serena and Venus Williams, Gauff proved to be the breath of fresh air everyone needed, and we were so ready for it.
Fast forward a few months, Gauff became the flag-bearer for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games and set out to make history yet again. But, sadly to her fans, the 20-year-old was eliminated this morning after a match with Croatian player Donna Vekić.
