WASHINGTON — Coco Gauff’s breakthrough run to the fourth round of Wimbledon was hailed as the arrival of a singular talent. Through a wider lens, though, she is one of many.
Gauff, 15, is one of four players 17 or younger in the top 150 of the WTA rankings. All of them are American.
No. 23 Amanda Anisimova, 17, is the highest ranked of the four, by far, after her run to the French Open semifinals in June; she has also reached the quarterfinals of the WTA tournament in San Jose, Calif.
