15岁的美国网球女单选手可可▪高夫的WTA排名快速上升让世人瞩目。 请看本报昨日的报道：

American prodigy Coco Gauff continued her rise up the ranks of women’s tennis Monday when the WTA rankings showed a climb of 39 places to No. 71 in the world.

Gauff started last week in Linz at 110 and was originally set for an early departure from Austria after losing in the qualifying rounds before grabbing a lifeline as a lucky loser.

She went on to beat 2017 Roland Garros winner Jelena Ostapenko in the final for her maiden title.

It marks a meteoric rise for the young American — at the end of 2018, she was 686 in the world.

报道中的meteoric rise可译作“青云直上”，meteoric是像流星般的，因为流星滑落天际的速度非常之快而且非常炫目。
