She was expected to headline the United States’ tennis team as the highest-ranked American player going to the Games. “I am so disappointed to share the news that I have tested positive for COVID and won’t be able to play in the Olympic Games in Tokyo,” Gauff said in her Twitter post. “I want to wish Team USA best of luck and a safe games for every Olympian and the entire Olympic family.” The 17-year-old was ready to compete in her first Olympic Games, and her selection to the U.S. roster made Gauff the youngest Olympic tennis player since Mario Ancic made his Olympic debut at 16 in the 2000 Sydney Games. 🔗 To read more, visit our link in bio. 📸: Julian Finney, @gettyimages #Tokyo2020 #cocogauff
