Coco Gauff’s Personal Life
Cori Gauff was born March 13, 2004 in Atlanta, Georgia. She comes from an athletic background, as her mother is a track and field alum at Florida State University, while her father played basketball at Georgia State.
Gauff’s victory over Venus Williams at the age of 15 was transformational for the game of tennis, but also for Gauff herself, as the fledgling tennis star grew up idolizing the Williams sisters, whom she credits with stoking her early passion for the game.
Coco Gauff’s Amateur Career
At the age of 10, Gauff followed the path of Serena Williams, training with Patrick Mouratoglou, her longtime coach, at his academy in France. That year, Gauff became the youngest winner at the USTA Clay Court under-12 tournament.
Gauff joined the ITF Junior Circuit at the age of 13, and won her first junior Grand Slam title at the 2018 French Open.
Coco Gauff’s Professional Career
Later in 2018, Gauff became the youngest player in the history of Wimbledon to qualify for the main draw, and made it to the fourth round.
In the 2020 Australian Open, Gauff took down defending champion Naomi Osaka in the third round. 2021 saw continued growth in the singles and doubles categories, as she made the US Open final in doubles with Caty McNally, shortly after making it to the semifinal at the Italian Open.
After a strong 2022, including her first WTA 1000 doubles title in Qatar, Gauff climbed to a career-high No. 15 in singles and No. 7 in doubles.
After hiring Brad Gilbert as coach in 2023, Gauff took down Aryna Sabalenka to win the US Open, her first major title victory, a matchup she would come out on top in once again in the 2025 French Open.
