Coco Gauff continues to make history at the US Open 👏 The 22-year-old is the youngest American woman to make three Majo Via @SportsCenter on X

What happened: The 22-year-old advanced to her third major quarterfinal of 2026. Serena Williams was the last younger American woman to reach three in one year, doing so in 2003.

Why it matters: Gauff remains in contention for another major after winning the 2023 US Open and 2025 Roland Garros. One more victory would put her in the semifinals.

By the numbers: 3 — major quarterfinals in 2026; 22 — Gauff's age; 23 — years since Williams reached three in 2003.

What to watch: A semifinal berth is at stake in Gauff's next match.
