Coco Gauff
Coco Gauff is an American professional tennis player who is the youngest ranked in the top 100 by WTA. She is currently ranked at No. 11 which is her career-best ranking. Gauff won her first WTA Tour singles title at the 2019 Linz Open at the age of 15, making her the youngest singles title-holder on the Tour since 2004. She has won four WTA Tour doubles titles in which three of them came pairing up with Caty McNally. Gauff rose to fame with a win over Venus Williams in the opening round at Wimbledon 2019.
The American was seen at the Atlanta Open’s exhibition matches where Gauff and Taylor Townsend played each other on Sunday night, and Gauff returned to the court to take on Sofia Kenin on Monday night. Townsend was a late replacement for Leylah Fernandez, who has not yet fully recovered from a foot injury that she suffered at Roland Garros in June.

Coco Gauff launches her signature shoes
The 18 years old has launched a new pair of shoes in partnership with the American shoe manufacturing brand, New Balance. Coco launched her series of signature shoes named ‘the NB Coco CG1′ which she sported while playing the exhibition match. With this partnership, Coco became the only tennis player after Roger Federer to have a signature tennis shoe.
“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,” this year’s French Open runner-up 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,” said Gauff.
Coco after launching the shoe described it as a dream come true. The shoes have a similar design as the other retros from New Balance but it has some great features and enhancement which makes them different, like increased ankle support, extra midfoot support, fit weave textile, and other features.
