Francis Tiafoe and Coco Gauff are at opposite ends of the U.S Open Tennis Championships spectrum, with Tiafoe riding high and Gauff bowing out. Gauff, the defending champion and third seed in this year’s tournament, exited with an embarrassing showing against 13th-seed Emma Navarro (6-3, 4-6, 6-3) in a fourth-round match.

The indelible image of Coco Gauff, with hands spread before her and the words “give me something,” is now a permanent part of her tennis legacy following her major meltdown during her straight-set loss to Emma Navarro in third-round action at Wimbledon.

“Challengers” is a titillating Luca Guadagnino film about desire, love and loss set against the backdrop of professional tennis.

Coco Gauff won the U.S. Open women’s singles championship on the same court where her parents brought her to see the Williams sisters play as a child. It was her first major tennis title.

The top story of the U.S. Open has been the coming of age of 19-year-old Coco Gauff, who survived her third three-set match against Caroline Wozniacki to advance to the quarterfinals and defeat 20th-seeded Jelena Ostapenko 6-0, 6-2.

Madison Keys and Christopher Eubanks made major headlines at the Wimbledon Tennis Championships this year.

Tennis is concluding an era: “Serena’s Reign,” as Sportsmen’s Tennis and Enrichment Center CEO Toni Wiley told the Banner last month.
