Furthermore, getting to the tournament at hand; how is Coco Gauff faring, and doing in the U.S. Open as of right now? So far, very good. She seems to be cruising and in full control.

She effortlessly made it through round one. And in round two after some poor serving; adjusted and made short work of Tatjana Maria. Winning 4-6, 0-6.

Gauff is enjoying each and every win. But knows that the job is not yet done and far from over. After her match against Tatjana, Coco was observed hitting the practice courts not too long after. Being talented is one thing; but even all the greats still have to practice to get to and stay at an elite level. Nonetheless, it looks like Gauff will be well prepared for any future U.S. Open challenges and is staying laser focused.

So then, who shall she face next? Well, now Coco goes on to round three where she shall face veteran, Elina Svitolina. Which will no doubt be a hard fought battle. Tennis fans can see this matchup on Friday, August 30th.
