Even if professional athletes are only meant to be looked up to because of the skills they possess in their respective sports, lots of the time, they become role models for young people in all walks of life.
Tonight, we’re glad about that.
That's because reigning US Open Champion, Naomi Osaka, and 15-year-old phenom, Coco Gauff, shared an incredible moment on the court following Gauff’s elimination.
In what was an obviously emotional time for Gauff, Osaka exhibited some of the greatest sportsmanship we’ve ever seen. Naomi consoled her competition, and then invited her to partake in the post-match court interview.
It was obviously an emotional moment for the two competitors, and spectators, too were moved by the gesture.
Both the match and the sportsmanship were breathtaking displays of what fantastic athletes these two are, and we’re confident that they boths have long, successful careers ahead of them.
