Coco Gauff replaces Andre Agassi and pairs up with the USWNT star, Alex Morgan, during the US Open Fan Week's 'Stars of the Open' showcase.

The US Open Fan Week can’t get any more exciting. Coco Gauff paired up with Andre Agassi and took on Venus Williams and John McEnroe at the ‘Stars of the Open’ showcase. And things got even more interesting as the former US Women’s National Team star and 2x FIFA World Cup winner Alex Morgan, came in to join Gauff in the exhibition match. But was the soccer star good enough to extract some awe from the crowd? 

Well, Morgan was a bit more than that. Morgan made quite a show upon her entry to the Arthur Ashe Stadium, as smoke cannons fired up and made her entry even more dramatic. After losing to Williams and McEnroe in the previous battle, Coco Gauff substituted Agassi with Morgan. But the question was – Was Alex Morgan good enough on a tennis court? 

Of course, she was! She showcased impeccable form as she exchanged blows with Venus Williams. Morgan even made the commentators exclaim, “Form is good!” Soon, the trajectory of the ball changed and she began her to-and-fro with McEnroe, until Venus intervened only to net the ball, leading Gauff to claim, “She’s already doing better than Andre.”

This is a developing story…
