4 Black American Tennis Players Reach U.S. Open Quarterfinals For First Time Since 1968
Last year, Tiafoe also made history as the first Black American man to reach the semi-finals at Flushing since 1972.
Gauff has been garnering attention from fans and the press alike since she started competing in this year’s U.S. Open. Last week, she became vocal about her frustration with the pace imposed by her opponent, German player Laura Siegemund. Gauff went up several times to the chair umpire and concluded the match with a win.
She has credited Venus and Serena Williams for inspiring her to advocate for herself and for being unafraid to show her emotions on the court.
“I love that she always elevates herself,” Gauff said of Serena Williams during the 2022 U.S. Open Media Day, according to Insider. “Sometimes being a woman, a Black woman in the world, you settle for less. I feel like Serena taught me that, from watching her, she never settled for less. I can’t remember a moment in her career or life that she settled for less.”
