Coco Gauff took part in the Atlanta exhibition match held in Atlantic Station as she debuted her new signature shoes while defeating compatriot Taylor Townsend in straight sets.
The American teenager became the only active player on the WTA Tour to have her own signature shoe - New Balance Coco CG1. She debuted it during an exhibition match in Atlanta and will most probably wear it also during the US swing. The only other player that has a shoe except for Coco Gauff is Roger Federer.
"It's an absolute dream come true to be able to put my stamp on this sport with New Balance and hopefully inspire generations to come. I am really excited to see how people wear this shoe, on and off the court," Gauff said.
"Admittedly, I've been using it more often than ever before, so just a few attempts. I didn't want to overthink it and then it was up to the New Balance designers to incorporate it the right way and I love how it turned out. I hope other people do as well," she stated.
"There's just something freeing about the color palettes and blending of styles in that era that has always stood out to me. I love putting a modern spin on those '90s elements and it's cool to see it coming back with my generation in so many ways," revealed Gauff.
