Coco Gauff has always stated that her childhood idol was Serena Williams and she has huge admiration for her next opponent Naomi Osaka. However, the sensational teenager managed to achieve something that is so great that even Serena didn’t manage to. In fact, Coco reached the 3rd round in her first 3 slams. No American woman achieved that in 30 years.
