It was a busy day for teenage tennis sensation Coco Gauff, as the 19-year-old took the court on the third annual HBCU Live at the US Open yesterday. The 19-year-old Gauff headlined the first match shortly after noon in Arthur Ashe Stadium and faced an opponent younger than her in 16-year-old Russian Mirra Andreeva, who appears to have a bright future by the way she competed against Gauff. But Gauff, ranked #6 in the tournament, was undeterred, willing 6-3, 6-2.
