Coco Gauff career
Cori Gauff began her tennis career at the age of seven, specifically after moving to Florida. The only reason she moved to Florida from where she originated in Atlanta was to pursue a career in gambling. Even though she was just selected in the field of tennis, her star continues to shine.
Cori Gauff admires the Williams sisters and has even tried to emulate their outing by going to the Mouratoglou academy in France. Truly, even Mouratoglou was completely smitten with Cori Gauff. She gained boundless recognition after defeating a former heroine, Venus Williams, at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships.
The game between Gauff and Williams ended 6: 4, 6: 4 in the approval of the then 15-year-old. Gauff won her first WTA expert copy title at the 2019 Citi Open in Washington DC, alongside Caty McNally. She also has two WTA singles titles, having won the 2019 Linz Open and the 2021 Parma Open.
The latest success put her in the top 25 of the WTA rankings. Gauff and McNally won their third WTA copy title at the 2021 Parma Open. Henceforth she joined some elites to win the singles and doubles title in a similar competition.
Gauff kept dazzling the whole gang at Grand Slam level at the 2020 Australian Open.
