Coco Gauff made tennis history alongside Carlos Alcaraz as 20-year-old American reaches dizzying new height

Coco Gauff keeps blazing a powerful trail in a fast-changing tennis world.

After reaching the French Open semifinals, Gauff moved up in the WTA rankings.

The 20-year-old American star is now No. 2 in the world, only trailing Poland’s Iga Swiatek, who knocked Gauff off the court at Roland Garros.

When combined with the new men’s ATP rankings, Gauff truly did something special.

For the first time in the sport’s history, the top-two players in the ATP and WTA rankings were all born in the 2000s.

Jannik Sinner (22) is No. 1 on the men’s side, while French Open winner Carlos Alcaraz is ranked second.
Sinner and Swiatek were born in 2001.

Alcaraz was born in 2003, while Gauff didn’t enter the world until 2004.
