New York: Coco Gauff's run to the fourth round at Wimbledon at age 15 has convinced her top rivals, and US Open officials, that she deserves a main draw wildcard. Gauff will make her US Open debut on Tuesday afternoon at Louis Armstrong Stadium against Russia's 76th-ranked Anastasia Potapova.

"I don't really put expectations on myself," Gauff said. "I just feel like whatever happens happens." Gauff, ranked 141st, played and won her first WTA match in March at Miami, received a wildcard into Wimbledon qualifying, then battled through to become the youngest main draw player in history at the All England Club. She upset 44th-ranked Venus Williams in the opening round in her Grand Slam debut, dispatched Magdalena Rybarikova and then saved two match points in ousting Polona Hercog to reach the last 16, where her dream run was ended by eventual champion Simona Halep.
