Parent Peek At The Week
At just 19 years old, CoCo Gauff won the most recent US Open Women's title. Her win was celebrated by people all over the world and she received personal congratulations from President Joe Biden and Barack Obama but what makes CoCo Gauff so special?
So far 55 women have won the US Open title since its inception in 1968 however only 6 of those women have been black and CocCo Gauff is the second youngest black women to do so after Serena Williams.
When CoCo was six years old her parents created a ten year plan for her success. To achieve it, her mother resigned as a nurse and became a full-time mother whilst her father took on the role of her coach. To their amazement CoCo exceeded the plan by two years and became a professional tennis player at fourteen years old.
In fact in 2010, at 15 years old, Gauff made her Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon and was the youngest in the Open Era to ever reach the main draw of Wimbledon.
In the tournament she defeated five-time champion Venus Williams and months later won her first singles title at 19. There is still so much history for CoCo to make! (essence.com) (photo from Wikipedia)
