Coco Gauff is a 21-year-old American tennis prodigy who has achieved remarkable success, reaching world No. 2 in singles and world No. 1 in doubles, with major titles including the 2023 US Open, the 2025 French Open, and the 2024 WTA Finals. She burst onto the scene as a 15-year-old at Wimbledon in 2019, making history as the youngest qualifier ever to defeat the legendary Venus Williams in the first round. Born in Florida in 2004, her parents gave up their careers to coach and homeschool her, and she honed her skills at Patrick Mouratoglou’s academy in France, winning the USTA Clay Court 12-and-under title at just age 10. As a junior, she became the world No. 1 before winning her first WTA title at the 2019 Linz Open and reaching her first major final at the 2022 French Open. In doubles, she has triumphed at the 2024 French Open with Katerina Siniaková and previously partnered with Jessica Pegula to reach the No. 1 ranking in 2022.
