Coco Gauff no longer the youngest player in Top 100 of WTA Rankings

| by Alfredo Bassanelli

Czech tennis has a really bright future especially because of the young talents that it was able to produce in the recent years, players that stopped also a long-time domination of Coco Gauff.

Since the 13th of October 2019, Coco Gauff was always a part of Top 100 of the WTA Rankings and always, she was the youngest player in it. But that changed when two Lindas from Czech Republic came. Linda Noskova and Linda Fruhvirtova.

17-years-old Linda Noskova won two ITF events this year and played also in two Grand Slam main draws. On the 22nd of August 2022, she reached her career-high 87th spot in the WTA Rankings, taking away crown of the youngest player in Top 100 from Coco Gauff.

However, she soon dropped out of this elite company and therefore, the young American became the youngest player in Top 100 once again. However, Noskova's younger compatriot, Linda Fruhvirtova enjoyed a stunning week at the 2022 Chennai Open which ended with her maiden WTA title.

While she's far away from matching Coco Gauff's first WTA title at 15-years-old, the young Czech jumped to the 74th position of the WTA Rankings, making her the youngest player inside of the Top 100.
