![]() She is, in many ways, her sport’s first standout who is Gen Z, through and through. What really should serve her well is the beyond-her-years maturity displayed in moments with a racket in her hand and, importantly, in those without one. Gauff is a special talent, to be sure, and her health has never been an issue. Two who left New York as champs recently - Bianca Andreescu was 19 in 2019 Emma Raducanu was 18 in 2021 - have not recreated that sort of magic, thanks in part to injuries. The first American teenager to triumph at Flushing Meadows since Serena Williams in 1999 is hardly the first tennis player to succeed before turning 20. But I don’t think it’s going to affect how I approach my day-to-day life.” “But I think I’m going to be the same person after this.

It’s also really amazing how they were able to show a complicated family from the past and healing it. It’s a wonderful, little musicology lesson. “It was so fun because they do a version of ‘Remember Me’ in all the regional genres we learned sprinkled throughout the movie. Songwriter-composer Germaine Franco came in “and brought an authenticity and vibrant color to the mariachi version,” said Anderson-Lopez. We even did an little orchestration with trumpets and violins,” said Lopez. “We re-envisioned it as an uptempo, mariachi tune.

He asked the songwriters to compose a song “that in the beginning of the movie we hear one way and means one thing, and then we hear it later as the song was meant to be,” said Lopez.
