Coco Gauff Becomes Youngest U.S. Woman to Win Singles Match at Olympics

Venus Williams previously held the record, first winning the singles match at the 2000 Olympic Games.

Gauff is 2-0 so far at the Paris Olympics after adding a 6-3, 6-0 singles victory over Tomljanovic on Sunday to a win the previous day in a doubles match with Jessica Pegula. Pegula and Gauff, who joined LeBron James as the youngest American flag bearer at the opening ceremony Friday night, defeated Australia’s Daria Saville and Ellen Perez 6-3, 6-1.
