Who was the last American teen sensation before Coco Gauff to storm the US Open quarterfinals two years in a row?

Back in the days when the internet was still dialing up, and Y2K was the biggest scare, young Serena Williams was making waves at the US Open. Fast forward to 2023, and 19-year-old Coco Gauff follows in her footsteps, advancing to the quarterfinals of the US Open in consecutive years. On Sept. 3, 2023, Gauff showcased her prowess by defeating Caroline Wozniacki, reminding us that history repeats itself. By Sept. 5, she also became the first American teenager to reach the US Open semi-finals since Williams in 2001. On Sept. 10, she won her first grand slam title, becoming the first American teenager to win the US Open and the youngest American woman to reach the US Open final since 17-year-old Williams in 1999. This time, with much better internet.
