Gauff, who advanced to a Grand Slam final for the first time, had Twitter impressions numbering 207 million, which in turn brought about 591,000 engagaments.

Brands promoted by the two tennis stars also benefitted immensely, with the Pole's exploits notching up $1.79 million in social value while Gauff's stood at $685,000.

Road to fame and success for Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff

Coco Gauff lost to Simona Halep in the fourth round at Wimbledon 2019

Swiatek's phenomenal rise has been a major talking point in tennis circles this season. The Pole was ranked World No. 54 when she beat top seed and World No. 2 Simona Halep in the fourth round of the 2020 French Open. She achieved this at a time when the Romanian was on a 17-match unbeaten streak.

Victory against Sofia Kenin in the finals enabled Swiatek to become the lowest-ranked player to win the tournament since the introduction of the WTA ranking system.

Two years on, the 21-year-old began as the overwhelming favourite to win the Roland Garros title after having won five tournaments in a row.

A phenomenal run of hard-court title wins began at Doha and continued as she held aloft the trophies at both Indian Wells and Miami. A change of surface to clay did nothing to deter the Pole, who added the Stuttgart Open and Italian Open to her kitty.

With thirty-five wins in a row, the girl from Warsaw went past Serena Williams' tally of 34 successive wins and now stands level with Venus Williams for the longest ever unbeaten streak in the history of women's tennis.

At 18, Coco Gauff is yet to match the spectacular feats that Swiatek has achieved but did well enough at the French Open to be followed widely. The American did not drop a set en route to her maiden Grand Slam final, getting past the likes of Elise Mertens, Sloane Stephens, and Martina Trevisan.

Gauff, who graduated from high school just before the start of the French Open, made history when she became the youngest player at 15 years and 3 months to qualify for the main draw at Wimbledon in 2019 and also accounted for five-time champion Venus Williams.
