Graham, the son of legendary evangelist Billy Graham and president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, took to Facebook to second Dungy's thoughts on Monday. 

“Congratulations to Coco Gauff on winning her first U.S. Open Grand Slam at just 19 years old! That’s an incredible accomplishment!” Graham wrote in a post on Facebook.

“And Coach Tony Dungy made it clear to sports commentators and the world that Coco wasn't just taking in the moment when she knelt afterwards — she was praying! Coco isn’t ashamed to talk about her Christian faith, and I hope she will inspire many other young athletes. God bless you Coco!”
