Coco Gauff’s spectacular U.S. Open victory earned praise from plenty of notable figures

Coco Gauff has made history by winning the U.S. Open.

Tennis phenom Coco Gauff made history after she won the 2023 U.S. Open on Saturday over Aryna Sabalenka in New York City at Arthur Ashe Stadium.

One of the world’s best in the sport, Gauff notched her first career Grand Slam by winning all four of the major tennis tournaments.

It’s a remarkable achievement for Gauff, who at just 19 years old has defied the odds and earned her place in the sport’s history.

She even delivered a stellar post-win speech where she thanked those that didn’t believe she could accomplish such a thing as winning the U.S. Open and achieving her first career Grand Slam.

Plenty of notable figures shared their congratulations with Gauff for her victory, including former President Barack Obama and tennis legend Billie Jean King.
