Cori Gauff had a good straight-sets win in San Diego’s opener when she defeated fellow black American Robin Montgomery. Soon after the match, Coco shared her opinion about Serena and Venus Williams’ legacy. Coco said that the two tennis legends must be proud about what they have done for black American players.
“If Serena and Venus saw this today; two 18-year-olds – both African-American – playing on the WTA 500 level – I think they would be proud,” said Coco. “I think both of us are products of their legacy. I’m grateful that I had those examples to follow after, and I hope that I can maybe be an example myself.”
