Coco Gauff To Cheer Serena Williams After Clearing US Open Hurdle

US teenager Coco Gauff said she planned to cheer on Serena Williams from the stands after sweeping into the second round of the US Open on Monday. Gauff, one of a crop of African-American players who cite Williams as the inspiration for their career, made short work of defeating France's Leolia Jeanjean 6-2, 6-3 in her first round match. But while most players would be hustling back to their luxury Manhattan hotels for rest and recuperation, Gauff revealed after her victory she was going to hang around to catch Williams later Monday in what could be her final Grand Slam match. Williams has signalled she plans to retire after this year's US Open.
