NEW YORK, Sept 9 (Reuters) - Coco Gauff cheered on the historic success of her fellow Black Americans at the U.S. Open on Wednesday, where Ben Shelton and Frances Tiafoe were poised to make history when they face off in the semi-finals.
Eighth-seed Shelton and 11th-seed Tiafoe are the first Black American men to face off in the semi-final of a Grand Slam in the Open Era, breaking barriers in a sport that has long been overwhelmingly white. Their semi-final clash is on Friday.
