Coco Gauff’s rising career hits a bump

Coco Gauff is a Grand Slam winner, yes. Indeed, she holds the top ranking in both doubles and singles. Indeed, she is already a well-known figure that goes outside her sport. She carried the Olympic flag with LeBron James in Paris in 2024, and she has a signature sneaker. She even appears on Wheaties boxes.


Even so, Gauff, who became the first American kid to win a major championship since Serena Williams in 1999, is back in New York for the opening of the U.S. Open on Monday. She still occasionally comes across as someone who struggles with imposter syndrome. She won the tournament a year ago.
