"I am a young adult now" - Gauff ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon

Coco Gauff wants to call upon her childhood dreams as she tries to go one better at Wimbledon than her French Open final appearance earlier this month.

Gauff lost out to Iga Swiatek at Roland-Garros after an impressive couple of weeks in Paris, and she looks to be among the favourites on her favoured grass surface.Gauff famously reached the Wimbledon fourth round in 2019 at just 15 years old, an event where she made her name.

Speaking ahead of the 2022 Wimbledon Gauff said:

"I did not expect the [centenary] graphic to come out beforehand. I saw it for the first time and I was almost about to cry because it just really takes you back. I feel like growing up - and not just as a tennis player, I'm a young adult now - we kind of forget our childhood dreams a little bit."

She added:

"And that reminded me of that and reminded me of being grateful of being here. The relationship with this tournament is something that I feel like the rest of the world remembers, and that obviously me I remember the most. That experience in 2019 was something I will never forget."
