Coco Gauff: American teenage sensation has seen a spike in her social media growth following her US Open title win.

Cori Dionne "Coco" Gauff or simply known as Coco Gauff recorded a remarkable milestone in her career having upset the odds to win the 2023 U.S Open Championship.

On Saturday, September 9, 2023,  Gauff won the 2023 US Open title, her first major singles title, beating Aryna Sabalenka in three sets to become the first American teenager to win the US Open since the great Serena Williams in 1999.

Pulse Sports reported that Gauff came from a set down to see off Aryna Sabalenka two sets to one to pick up her first Grand Slam title at the age of 19.
