Coco Gauff is the second highest-ranked American player in the WTA Rankings and by far the highest-ranked player under 19 years of age.
The 18-years-old American already played her first singles Grand Slam final when she lost to Iga Swiatek in the final of the 2022 Roland Garros. Moreover, she has an experience from playing two Grand Slam finals in doubles and also became the world number 1 in doubles. But Coco Gauff often needs to face a lot of expectations because of her enormous success in a very young age and speaking ESPN, she revealed how she fights it.
"My goals are the same," Coco Gauff said. "But the mentality behind them is different. I want to enjoy the tough moments."
"For a long time, I was stepping onto the court trying to be the next great American whatever, the next Serena," Coco Gauff added. "But that's not why I play tennis. I used to say I wanted to be the greatest because that's what people wanted to hear. Now I say it because it's what I want for myself."
