NEW YORK, USA – A supportive fan helped soothe defending champion Coco Gauff’s nerves ahead of the US Open, the American said on Friday, August 23, as she hopes to enjoy her Flushing “victory lap” after a handful of disappointing results. It is a different story this time around, after early exits in Toronto and Cincinnati, with her lone title of the year in Auckland in January.“Somebody commented on my TikTok,” said Gauff, “It said, you’ve won literally and figuratively. Why stress yourself out over a victory lap?
Gauff’s US Open breakthrough came with a small sense of relief after she was catapulted into the spotlight at just 15 when she became the youngest ever to qualify for Wimbledon in 2019.
