Naomi Osaka's Treatment Of Defeated Teen Coco Gauff Was A Moment To Treasure
The enthralling run of 15-year-old prodigy Coco Gauff had to come to an end eventually. She fell in straight sets, 6-3, 6-0, to No. 1 Naomi Osaka in the third round Saturday at the U.S. Open. Osaka did everything she could to make the disappointment hit Gauff as softly as possible....
