Coco Gauff returns to the world top 50 and is already in the semis

As Rogers did this Friday against Serena Williams, he also had to come back to beat the young Coco Gauff. The earliest tennis player to play a Grand Slam suffered in her match against Tunisian Ons Jabeur. Gauff began by giving up the first set by a tight 6-4, losing his second serve and being unable to find a break. In the second set, the American came to be on the ropes, since she lost two serves in a row, but a great final push allowed Gauff to win the set 6-4.

Already in the third set the story of the match changed. Jabeur, number 39 in the world, began to show fatigue in a meeting that lasted until two hours, and did not present a battle in the final sleeve, that Gauff took by a convincing 6-1. His compatriot Jennifer Bardy is already waiting in the semis, who beat the Czech Bouzkova (6-1 and 6-2).

With this victory and, at the very least, the semifinals in Lexington, Coco will return to the top 50 – in February of this year it reached 49th place and is currently 53rd in the world -, and it will also be your best historical position. To better understand the great achievements that Gauff is achieving in such a premature way, there is a fact that clarifies everything: at 16 years and 5 months, Coco is not only the youngest among the 50 best tennis players in the world, but it is also the youngest among the top 500 classified. Almost nothing for a girl who aims to do great things in world tennis
