Raducanu’s £2m sponsor sends ‘proud’ message to Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff

Tiffany and Co, one of the sponsors of the US Open , has announced that they are proud of both Novak Djokovic and Coco Gauff following their successes after awarding the duo with their respective – and equal-sized – trophies. The jewellery company are the official trophy partner of the awards and also sponsor sidelined British tennis star  Emma Raducanu . Djokovic battled to victory over Daniil Medvedev in New York to secure a record-extending 24th Grand Slam singles title, beating his rival 6-3 7-6 (7-5) 6-3 in a hard-fought victory. The new world No 1 was visibly relieved after his championship-winning point and will have his heart set on becoming the most decorated tennis player ever with a 25th triumph at January’s Australian Open. In contrast, Coco Gauff’s maiden Grand Slam women’s title felt like the moment that will kickstart a very successful career for the 19-year-old. The American staged a brilliant comeback to beat Aryna Sabalenka 2-6 6-3 6-2 in an enthralling spectacle. Both successes will be remembered for vastly different reasons by both players, though the duo received equally eye-catching trophies on the night.
