At an age when most of her peers are turning their tassels and heading into their first-time jobs, tennis superstar Coco Gauff is on a tear at the U.S. Open. The 22-year-old is heading into the tournament’s quarterfinal match tonight—and is one step closer to reclaiming the title she won in 2023.
Gauff has put together a whirlwind performance at the 2026 U.S. Open. The Florida native most recently faced off against fellow American Iva Jovic Monday night, taking home a 6-1, 6-4 win and becoming one of the tournament’s final eight competitors. Her string of four straight singles victories at the tournament was preceded by a run to the Wimbledon semifinals and a Cincinnati title just weeks before the 2026 U.S. Open. Gauff hasn’t lost a single set in New York City competition so far—and the fourth-seeded player credited a change in mindset to her triumphs.
