2023
Coco Gauff tennis season
The
19-year-old American, Coco Gauff, finally took a significant step forward on
the WTA Tour after several years of high expectations. It was a breakthrough
season for Gauff, who started the year by winning a WTA 250 title in Auckland.
Gauff
displayed consistency throughout the year, staying within the top 8 since the
beginning of the season. Her turning point came during the hardcourt swing
after her early exit from Wimbledon in the first round against Sofia Kenin.
Subsequently, Gauff showcased her best form by winning her first WTA 500 title
at the Washington Open, followed by a WTA 1000 victory at the Cincinnati Open.
She crowned her tremendous year by securing her first Grand Slam title at the
US Open.
Her final
appearance was at the WTA Finals, where she reached the semifinals but fell
short against her compatriot and doubles partner, Jessica Pegula. Despite this,
she concluded her season as the world No. 3, trailing only behind Iga Swiatek
and Aryna Sabalenka."2023 is season officially over. hard to sum of this
season in a few words. I saw my darkest and brightest days of my life this
year. I am proud of myself. God’s plan," Gauff tweeted.
