Has Coco Gauff won a Grand Slam?
The 19-year-old tennis prodigy won her first Grand Slam tennis tournament. To reach that point, Gauff had to overcome more than just nerves. Since she made her Grand Slam debut at Wimbledon at age 15 — the youngest in the Open Era to ever reach the main draw of Wimbledon — she has faced pressure and self-doubt.
In 2003 and 2015, Williams held all four Slam titles at the same time with the feat known as the 'Serena Slam'. Court (1970) and Graf (1988) are the only two women to win calendar Grand Slams with the German's gold in Seoul securing her a unique 'Golden Slam'.
A Golden Slam is defined as having won each of the four Grand Slam tournaments (Australian Open, French Open, Wimbledon, US Open) as well as an Olympic Gold medal. Only one player (Steffi Graf) has managed to achieve this feat in a single year (1988), although the Bryan brothers also achieved their wins consecutively.
Her 162-78 win-loss record so far stands up to Williams's, which stood at 151-39 after the 2001 US Open (when she was the same age as Gauff is now) and both of them peaked at world No 4 by the age of 19. Verdict? At 19, the main difference is that Williams had already clinched 10 titles to Gauff's current tally of six.
