need it to be. so, she follows in the footsteps of other high-profile players, like andrescu and osaka recently. but andre agassi wrote it about it in his book decades ago as well. marty fish on the men side. it s not just related women, it s on both sides. that s a really important point. it s not. and i ll bring in other sports, michael phelps, and the list goes on. i want to read a tweet from a former world number one tennis player, chris evert, you came up with her in the world of tennis. she said it seems like a glamorous life. it is not. for a teenager, it is not a normal life. every day, you are either a winner or loser. you are put on a pedestal or shamed on social media. the highs and lows provide no balance. there s a price. take your time, amanda. can you relate to that? very much so. first off, christie is one of the great spokespeople and represents women s tennis, the champion mentality, but also very compassionate.
and policy. health policy. maybe the tennis version of it. novak djokovic is the best tennis player on the planet, as we speak. he will end up being the greatest tennis player in history. certainly on the men side, on the women side we have serena williams was pretty darn good. and we all on the tennis world would love to see him back playing in these big tournaments coming up. and wells, in miami, there are two big events coming up. but the u.s. government says if you are not vaccinated you can t get into the country. now, of, course we probably all agree that we seem to be sort of past the worst of it. as unvaccinated. he will also say he s the only tennis player that is not been vaccinated. he s a top 20 player in the world. and many of the players from other countries and some of the eastern european countries. did not want to get vaccinated.
finals in the u.s. open. american coco gauff will not advance to the semifinals. she had a great run, but unfortunately ended just a few moments ago when she lost to france s caroline garcia. we expect dramatic play at the open. this year, we are also carrying into the future, to have a sports next great players will be. on the men side, france is to offer will be playing in just his second major semifinal match after beating rafael nadal. it s a fairytale. he will become the first american man to win a grand slam singles final in nearly 2 decades. another big story in men s tennis is nick kyrgios, who s playing right now. he defeated the defending champion to get to the semifinals. let s talk about it all, cnn supports analyst christine brennan. christine, thank you so much for being here.
everyone has been, or, was just glued to serena williams, of course. i among them. but her retirement here has set the stage to pass the torch. on the women side, it s not so obvious on the men side. none of the big 3 over there are talking about retiring. so, who do you see as the next women stars? cocoa golf, even though i do think she had a tough night tonight. she s only 18 years old. born in 2003, or 2004. that s what i went to college. [laughs] when they re born in the century, you know they re young. and she has been playing so well. and what did she say when she talks about the inspiration? it s serena and venus. and you mentioned tiafoe. what does he say about his inspiration to play tennis? it s serena and venus. looking at someone who looked like them. you know, he felt that tennis could be a place where he could have a home, as opposed to other sports. and so, we are seeing this.
