This US Open, the tennis realm, has witnessed the prowess of the 19-year-old American tennis sensation, Coco Gauff. Persevering against the former world No. 1 Caroline Wozniacki and the French Open finalist, Karolina Muchova, Gauff has reached the finals. Now, she will go against the Belarusian tennis star Aryna Sabalenka for the US Open title. However, despite all that, the former coach of Venus and Serena Williams has some reservations which keeps Carlos Alcaraz one step ahead of her.

The 20-year-old Spanish sensation is at the US Open to defend his title. His aggressive form on the court and swift alertness have led a usual Gauff supporter like Macci to get on his side.
