Fresh off her dramatic victory at Roland-Garros, Coco Gauff arrives at Wimbledon with momentum, confidence, and a growing legacy. The 21-year-old American star captured her first French Open title earlier this month, defeating world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka in a gritty three-set final. It marked her second Grand Slam singles title and her first on clay, solidifying her place among the sport’s elite.
Now ranked No. 2 in the world, Gauff returns to the All England Club where her journey began as a 15-year-old phenom who stunned Venus Williams in the opening round. Though she has yet to reach the quarterfinals at Wimbledon, her recent form and mental toughness suggest this could be the year she breaks through on grass.
Gauff has spoken openly about the influence of tennis legends like Billie Jean King, whose trailblazing efforts continue to inspire her both on and off the court. That connection to the sport’s history fuels her drive to not only win but to lead with purpose and poise.
As she prepares for her opening match, Gauff remains focused on staying grounded and embracing the challenge. With her powerful baseline game, improved serve, and unwavering determination, she enters Wimbledon as one of the top contenders to lift the trophy.
If she succeeds, she would join an elite group of American women who have won both the French Open and Wimbledon in the same season—names that include Serena Williams, Chris Evert, and King herself. For Gauff, the opportunity is as much about honoring those who came before her as it is about carving her own path.
