Early life

[edit]

Gauff was born in Atlanta, Georgia^[3] on March 13, 2004, to Candi (née Odom)^[4] and Corey Gauff, both from Delray Beach, Florida.^[5]^[6] She has two younger brothers.^[7] Her father played college basketball at Georgia State University and later worked as a health care executive. Her mother was a track and field athlete at Florida State University and worked as an educator.^[8] Gauff lived her early years in Atlanta.^[9] She began playing tennis at the age of six. When she was seven, her family moved back to Delray Beach to have better training opportunities.^[10]^[11] She worked with Gerard Loglo at the New Generation Tennis Academy starting from the age of eight.^[12]^[13]

Gauff recalled, "I wasn't much of a team person. I loved tennis. I was so-so about it in the beginning because when I was younger I didn't want to practice at all. I just wanted to play with my friends. When I turned eight, that was when I played 'Little Mo' and after that I decided to do that for the rest of my life."^[12]^[14]

Gauff's parents gave up their careers to focus on training their daughter. Her father later became her primary coach, while her mother oversaw her homeschooling. Her father had limited experience playing tennis growing up.^[8]^[12] At the age of 10, Gauff began to train at the Mouratoglou Tennis Academy in France run by Patrick Mouratoglou, longtime coach of Serena Williams. Mouratoglou commented, "I'll always remember the first time I saw Coco. She came over to the Mouratoglou Academy in 2014 to try out and she impressed me with her determination, athleticism and fighting spirit.... When she looks at you and tells you she will be number one, you can only believe it."^[15] He helped sponsor Gauff through his Champ'Seed foundation, which he created to provide funding for talented juniors who did not have the financial resources to afford high-level training.^[16]

Gauff won the USTA Clay Court National 12-and-under title at the age of 10 years and three months to become the youngest champion in the tournament's history.^[12]

She finished runner-up to Jaimee Fourlis in her third career event, the Grade 1 Prince George's County Junior Tennis Championships in Maryland.^[19] At her next event, Gauff made her junior Grand Slam debut at the 2017 US Open and finished runner-up to Amanda Anisimova.^[20] Gauff did not drop a set before the final in either tournament.

With the title, Gauff became the fifth youngest girls' singles champion in French Open history.^[23] A month later, following another final win against McNally at the Grade 1 Junior International Roehampton, she became the No. 1 junior in the world.^[24]^[25]

Gauff reached the quarterfinals in singles at the final two Grand Slam tournaments of the year. She fared better in doubles at both tournaments, reaching the semifinals at Wimbledon with partner María Lourdes Carlé and winning her first junior Grand Slam doubles title at the 2018 US Open with McNally.^[17] Gauff and McNally defeated compatriots Hailey Baptiste and Dalayna Hewitt in the final, all in straight sets.^[26] In September 2018, Gauff represented the United States at the Junior Fed Cup with Alexa Noel and Connie Ma. The team reached the final against Ukraine. After Gauff won her singles rubber and Noel lost hers, Gauff and Noel won the Junior Fed Cup by defeating Lyubov Kostenko and Dasha Lopatetskaya 11–9 in a match tiebreak.^[27] Gauff finished the year with another Grade A title in singles at the Orange Bowl.^[28] She ended the season ranked world No. 2 behind Clara Burel.^[29]

Playing style and coaching

[edit]

Gauff's favorite surface is hard, and she describes her playing style as aggressive as possible with a big serve. She depends on her quickness and athleticism to keep her in any point, and describes herself as a "fighter".^[127]

From July 2023 to September 2024 her coach was Brad Gilbert.^[128] Gilbert encouraged Gauff to put high, heavy topspin on her ball and to chase down balls in every corner of the court.^[129] In September 2024 Gauff hired coach Matt Daly,^[130] who has focused on improving her serve and forehand with a grip on her racket that is closer to the eastern backhand style rather than the more frequently used continental style.^[129]

Endorsements

[edit]

She wears New Balance clothing and tennis shoes.^[132] In October 2018, Gauff signed her first multi-year sponsorship contract, with New Balance.^[133] At the 2021 French Open, Gauff wore a New Balance outfit of bold mismatched color splotches to contrast with the all-white ensemble of doubles partner Venus Williams.^[134] In March 2019, Gauff announced a multi-year sponsorship agreement with Italian food company Barilla, which also sponsors Roger Federer.^[133]^[135] In January 2023, Gauff was announced as a brand ambassador for advisory CPA firm Baker Tilly US, LLP.^[136] In January 2024 at the Australian Open, Gauff debuted a new New Balance pair of shoes with geographical coordinates specially inscribed on the soles. She revealed in a post-match interview that the coordinates (26 28 0.75” N 80 5’ 1.4” W) pointed to public tennis courts in Delray Beach where she grew up and trained.^[137]

In 2024, Gauff became the face of a collaboration between Miu Miu and New Balance, blending luxury fashion with performance wear in a campaign that highlighted her crossover appeal.^[138]

Personal life

[edit]

Gauff is a Christian. Since she was eight years old, she has prayed with her father before every match that she and her opponent would be safe. After winning the Cincinnati Open in August 2023, she said: "… I'd like to thank my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. I spent a lot of nights alone, crying trying to figure it out. I still have a lot to figure out, but I thank Him for covering me." After winning her first Grand Slam title in September 2023, she said: "… I don't pray for results, I just ask that I get the strength to give it my all and whatever happens happens. I'm so blessed in this life."^[139]

Gauff's tennis idols are Serena and Venus Williams. "Serena Williams has always been my idol...and Venus," she has said. "They are the reason why I wanted to pick up a tennis racquet."^[15] Gauff first met Serena when she won the Little Mo national tournament at the age of eight, and later met her again to film a commercial for Delta Air Lines and at the Mouratoglou Academy.^[12] After defeating Venus Williams at Wimbledon in 2019, Gauff expressed her respect when they shook hands at the net. "I was just telling her thank you for everything she's done for the sport," Gauff said. "She's been an inspiration for many people. I was just really telling her thank you."^[37]

Gauff stated in 2020 that she had experienced depression and stress related to her sporting career, though her parents clarified that she was not diagnosed with depression in the clinical sense, and had not sought medical attention relating to her psychological well-being.^[140]

Gauff is a fan of anime, including My Hero Academia.^[141]

In July 2023, Gauff and actress Storm Reid helped fund a new playground and purple-painted tennis courts in East Atlanta's Brownwood Park.^[142]

On 28 April 2025 she was being interviewed live at the Madrid Open at the moment the 2025 Iberian Peninsula power outage began; both the reporter's microphone and the court's LED displays immediately ceased to function.^[143]
