American teenager Coco Gauff has taken the tennis world by storm. She has been making constant progress on the Women’s Tour and has beaten quite a few prominent names in the course of it.

Recently, the WTA did an analysis of the 2021 season for various players on the circuit. It highlighted that the American teenage sensation is heading in the right direction and building on her breakout 2019 season. Had Emma Raducanu not won the US Open, it would have been Coco Gauff who would have finished the year as the highest-ranked teenager on the Tour.

Coco Gauff is moving in the right direction 

If one looks at the top 100 rankings, Gauff is the youngest among the six teenagers in that list.

Over the last two years, Coco has registered some exceptional performances on the WTA Tour. During the 2019 season, she made it to the second week of the Wimbledon Championships. She knocked out former champions like Venus Williams at the All England Club that year before eventually bowing out to Simona Halep.

The following year, she reached the fourth round of the Australian Open. In that tournament, she managed to knock out defending champion Naomi Osaka.
