Coco Gauff Named U.S. Olympic Flag-Bearer For 2024 Games

Gangwon 2024 Winter Youth Olympics Games

Coco Gauff, the rising tennis sensation, is set to make her Olympic debut at the 2024 Summer Games. She will be representing the United States and has been honored with the role of U.S. Olympic flag-bearer alongside basketball icon LeBron James.

Since turning professional in 2018, Gauff's career has been on a meteoric rise, marked by numerous impressive achievements. Her list of accolades includes winning the 2024 French Open doubles championship and the WTA Auckland Open singles title.

Notably, Gauff was recognized with the prestigious 'Best Tennis Player' award at the ESPYS, further solidifying her status as one of the brightest talents in the sport.

In 2023, Gauff made history by clinching the US Open singles title at just 19 years old, becoming the youngest female winner of the tournament. She also added victories at the WTA Auckland Open, Cincinnati Masters, and Washington Open to her impressive resume.

Her success extends back to 2021 when she triumphed at the Emilia-Romagna Open, and in 2019, she claimed the Linz Open singles title. Gauff's early success was evident when she secured the US Open doubles title and the French Open girls' title in 2018.

For fans of tennis and followers of Gauff's journey, ESPN offers comprehensive coverage with breaking news, rankings, previews, and more on their dedicated hub page. Stay tuned for updates on this young tennis prodigy as she continues to make waves in the world of professional tennis.
