Coco Gauff grew up idolizing the Williams sisters.
She trained at the same French academy as Serena — and her first paycheck even came from playing a young Serena in a commercial.
Today, Gauff became the first American teen to win the US Open — since Serena Williams in 1999.
Really blown away tbh
Incredibly honored!
Just happy to be able to do get this award with our team and my brothers on the team.
This is for you mama! ❤️ I love you.
