There’s no crying in baseball, but the 2019 US Open is so far proving that there’s no such rule in tennis. A touching moment between rising stars Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff after their match on Saturday has the internet weeping over the level of pure sportsmanship shown on the court.
Gauff, the 15-year-old former juniors champion, earned her match against the world No. 1 Naomi Osaka by winning against two other experienced players early in the tournament. Osaka beat the teen in straight sets — but what happened afterward felt like watching tennis history.
