Coco Gauff all set to appear at the Citi Open

Coco Gauff, the 15-year-old American who captured the attention and hearts from many all across the world with her inspiring Wimbledon run, may be competing very soon.

The teenage sensation is currently awaiting to see if she will make the Citi Open's qualifying draw, which will be finalized at 4 p.m. ET on Friday, July 26. Gauff's acceptance depends on how many players ranked higher on the list opt to proceed with playing the tournament—her pre-Wimbledon ranking of No. 313 is what will ultimately determine her fate. Last year, the final player to make the qualifying draw was ranked No. 397.

Gauff skyrocketed 172 spots to a career-high No. 141 ranking following her round of 16 showing at the All England Club. She has accepted three wild cards since turning 15 and is not able to receive another one at WTA and ITF World Tennis Tour events until her next birthday (March 13, 2020) per the WTA Age Eligibility rule. Grand Slam events such as the US Open aren't required to adhere to these rules, and the US Open committee is close to confirming the 15-year-old's spot in the main draw.

Regardless if Gauff competes or not in Washington, she is set to host the Citi Open Kids' Day on Sunday, July 28.
