Coco Gauff quickly is becoming a household name. And for good reason.
The 15-year-old American tennis phenom defeated 28-year-old Polona Hercog 3-6, 7-6 (7), 7-5 at Wimbledon on Friday, saving two match points along the way. Gauff gained momentum in the second set after winning a dramatic tiebreaker before taking Hercog down in the third and final set.
