Assessment: Coco Gauff Isn't Jealous, Just Inspired, As Two Fellow Teen Sensations Get Closer To A Grand Slam 사설토토

NEW YORK — On a windy Wednesday evening at the Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, the tennis world was as yet swirling over Canada's Leylah Annie Fernandez and England's Emma Raducanu, the high schooler sensations who each got longshot appearances in the U.S. Open elimination rounds. 

However, only a couple of steps from Arthur Ashe Stadium, the first wonder of this companion bunch was playing in her very own major match, attracting an enormous group Louis Armstrong Stadium to watch a ladies' pairs quarterfinal with her long-term playing accomplice Caty McNally against the top-cultivated group of Hsieh Su-wei and Elise Mertens. 

In contrast to Fernandez and Raducanu, whom most fans have simply been able to know throughout the most recent 10 days of this competition, Gauff as of now feels like she has been around for a little while. Since catching the public's creative mind two years prior with a race to the Wimbledon round of 16, Gauff has had definitely more on her plate than the commonplace youthful player attempting to advance through the rankings. Not just has she been the focal point of a showcasing effort for her attire support, New Balance, however her quality at competitions is incredible to such an extent that she's quite often relegated to the large show courts — on occasion dubiously when it comes to the detriment of higher-positioned players. 

At only 17, Gauff as of now is a gigantic star whose progress on the WTA Tour has been consistent. What she isn't — not yet, in any case — is a Grand Slam singles semifinalist. Also, she'll currently need to manage the truth that in the race for significant titles, she's as of now not the most bright individual from her age. 

Story proceeds 

"I most certainly don't quantify myself by them. I never do that with anybody," Gauff said after she and McNally indented a noteworthy 6-3, 7-6 success. "We are in general unique and all of us will have our chance to make history sooner or later, yet it certainly is rousing since we have all been close in level for quite a while and I think it shows that for me, I feel like I can come to the semis and finals since they're doing it. Today we were rehearsing simultaneously as Leylah, and I just felt like I need to work more diligently to get where she is." 

Coco Gauff, 17, says she doesn't contrast her outcomes and individual youngsters Leylah Fernandez and Emma Raducanu, both of whom exceptional to the U.S. Open elimination rounds. 

All in all, there's little uncertainty that Gauff — who is 16 months more youthful than Raducanu and year and a half more youthful than Fernandez — came into the U.S. Open easily in front of them in general accomplishments. 

Not just has she previously made the second seven day stretch of a Grand Slam multiple times, including the quarterfinals at the current year's French Open, she has consistently further developed her positioning this year from No. 48 in January to No. 23 at this point. After a long time after week, she's been thumping heads with the best on the planet, gathering prevails upon a large number of top-50 players like Maria Sakkari and Aryna Sabalenka, who have each made two Grand Slam elimination rounds this year including the U.S. Open. 

Yet, in a game where significance is progressively estimated by what occurs in the majors — a pattern that has sped up throughout the most recent 20 years because of Roger Federer and Serena Williams making them a particularly tremendous focal point of their timetables — another youngster winning a Grand Slam before Gauff would without a doubt begin to put the emphasis on when her advancement is coming. 

Gauff doesn't take a gander at it that way, seeing what's occurred at this U.S. Open more as a generally speaking generational shift rather than a contest among players she has known well since their lesser days. 

"I'm continually going to pull for my age bunch since we are in general sort of companions and we as a whole are pulling for one another," she said. "Ideally we'll have a teen hero in singles and pairs with us and show the world that Gen Z is coming and we're coming solid." 

Being a singular game where players will in general grow up playing against each other from the time they're youthful until they experienced as aces, tennis has frequently been a favorable place of envy and conflicting consciences. 

Be that as it may, the Gauff-drove age, to some extent up until this point, appears to be strikingly untainted, experienced and generous. As Raducanu has said after every one of her matches, some portion of her prosperity has been understanding that everybody is on their own direction. 

"To think about yourself and your outcomes against anybody is presumably the hoodlum of bliss," said Raducanu, who only half a month prior was on the direct inverse finish of the range, having been passed by her companions in youngsters. 

Emma Raducanu is absorbing the environment during her first outing to the U.S. Open. 

Also, en route, it would have been incomprehensible for Raducanu and Fernandez not to view at Gauff as a pioneer for where they needed to go. 

Before the COVID-19 pandemic, Raducanu had posted some strong outcomes at the undeniable level junior occasions — she even beat Fernandez at the Wimbledon youngsters in 2018 — yet nothing that would recommend she was a can't-miss prospect. 

Then, at that point in 2019, Raducanu began to gain some headway at the ITF level yet generally at little cash competitions in far removed spots like Turkey, Israel and India where she'd have never stumbled into somebody like Gauff, who previously had scored her first WTA title that October in Linz, Austria. 

Fernandez, who had additionally lost to Gauff in 2018 at the lesser French Open, was on a bit of an alternate way. She began 2020 positioned No. 209 on the planet, traversed qualifying at a couple of WTA occasions and was very nearly breaking the best 100 when the pandemic hit. Her outcomes from that point forward have been a bit all over, yet she hasn't progressed profound enough in competitions to have a lot of match insight against top players. Before the U.S. Open, she just confronted individuals from the current top 10 a small bunch of times. 

That shortfall of involvement and assumptions may, indeed, be helping Raducanu and Fernandez as they advance in this competition. 

"What's extraordinary with them is they have zero pressing factor, zero assumptions, so they play 100% unreservedly," said Patrick Mouratoglou, who is most popular for training Serena Williams yet in addition is essential for Gauff's group and frequently sits in her player box during matches. "They are exploiting that, and it's extraordinary in light of the fact that when this competition is finished, it's done. It endures an exceptionally brief timeframe and afterward you find reality and the truth of the greatest level is it's a huge measure of pressing factor and what has the effect is regularly the capacity to haggle with that pressing factor. 

"Coco is doing great with the pressing factor, yet on the off chance that she would play 100% unreservedly perhaps she would as of now win a Grand Slam. In any case, she's not and she can't. It's unrealistic. No one does that except if you're youthful and no eyes are on you yet." 

Gauff, who lost in the second round here to the 2017 boss Sloane Stephens, recognized that getting tight during her singles matches is one of the issues she faces now and again. Maybe that isn't an unexpected when a 17-year-old who has always lost a significant title strolls through Times Square, as Gauff did before the competition, and sees herself all around the enormous video screens featuring in New Balance advertisements. 

"I need to improve and figure out how to simply not make such a large amount the occasion," she said. "It's simply a tennis match — you win or lose toward the day's end, and your life might change in certain spaces, yet you're actually going to have your loved ones with you. It won't be anything horrendous that will occur on the off chance that you lose. In some cases I put myself in the mentality that it will be the apocalypse and it most certainly influences how I play. 

"With Leylah and Emma, I certainly feel — I don't have the foggiest idea how they're feeling on the court clearly — yet from what it seems like on TV, they're without playing and cheerful out there."
