Tony Dungy Corrects ESPN on Coco Gauff Moment: ‘She Was Praying’ NFL Hall of Famer and current NBC analyst Tony Dungy issued a correction to ESPN Sports center Count X following the first victory of American Coco Gauff, 19, at the US Open. Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka on Saturday night and, after the match, knelt with her hands clasped and her eyes closed in a manner most would associate with prayer. However, ESPN didn’t take Gauff’s solemn moment as a prayer and insisted she was taking “a moment to soak it all in after winning her first Grand Slam title.” . @CocoGauff took a moment to soak it all in after winning her first Grand Slam title ❤️ pic.twitter.com/elBGm2wQeC Like Dungy, Gaufff is no stranger to discussing her faith in public. “Oh my God. It means so much to me,” Gauff explained after winning his first Grand Slam title. “I feel like I’m in a little bit of shock right now. This loss at Roland Garros was heartbreaking for me. I realized that God takes you through tribulations and trials. That makes this moment even sweeter than I could imagine. “I don’t pray for results. I just ask to have the strength to give everything. What must happen will happen. I am so blessed in this life. I’m just grateful for this moment. I don’t have words to describe it, to be honest. Gauff and Serena Williams are the only two American tennis players to win the US Open at age 19. Williams accomplished the feat in 2001.
