Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff Share Solidarity at US Open

Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff Share Solidarity at US Open

Imagine two really good tennis players, Naomi Osaka and Coco Gauff.

They played each other at the US Open.

Even though they were competing, they showed kindness.

Years ago, after their match, Osaka invited Gauff to be interviewed together, even though Gauff lost.

This year, after another match, they showed the same respect for each other.

Both are players of color, and they inspire others with their strength and empathy.

They show that being strong also means being kind, even when things are tough.
