America’s young tennis sensation
Coco Gauff has stated that she
is looking to invest after recording her highest payout.
The 19-year-old lived up to the hype and expectations as she
managed to win her first Grand Slam following a memorable win over the current
world number one Aryna Sabalenka with a score of 2-6, 6-3, 6-2.
Following that win, Gauff earned $3 million in prize money, a humongous
amount to say the least. She has shown willingness to invest that money just
like her doubles partner Jessica Pegula.
“I just haven’t found what really speaks to me,” she said. “I
mean, I really do love fashion. I love makeup.” Gauff further said, “I love
that type of thing. I just haven’t really thought about how I would build that
into a brand, per se.”
The Atlanta-born has been on an impressive run since the Wimbledon
2023 disappointment where she was knocked out from the first round after losing
to fellow American Sofia Kenin 6-4, 4-6, 6-2.
Since then, Gauff played in the final of the Citi Open after
beating Greece’s Maria Sakkari in straight sets with a score of 6-2, 6-3.
Later on, she also won the Cincinnati Open (Northern &
Western Open) after beating Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova in straight sets with
a score of 6-3, 6-4.
