Coco Gauff is ready to take on her first WTA Finals experience on home soil in Forth Worth where she will enjoy support.

The American will finally get a chance to play at the WTA Finals after playing a majestic season that saw her reach her maiden grand slam final at Roland Garros as well. Her first experience could be a very good one as she's playing on home soil with plenty of crowd support.

Speaking ahead of the event, Gauff admitted she was happy about the US hosting it:

"When they announced the location, I was really happy to see it was in the US. I'm just happy that I can play in another tournament in the U.S. Whenever I can play at home, it helps me more mentally because A. the travel, and B. you know that you're going to have crowd support. What I'm most looking forward to is the crowd support that I hope I'll receive in Texas."
