“One of my biggest dreams is to win a gold medal” – Gauff looks ahead to the Olympics
With 2024 being an Olympics year, many athletes have their sight set on representing their country and winning a medal. That includes US Open champion Coco Gauff, who turned 20 just last weekend is the top-ranked female tennis player in the United States.
Gauff was supposed to compete at the Tokyo Olympics but was forced to pull out at the last minute after contracting Covid. She has qualified as one of the players on the US team for Paris and has her sights set on winning gold.
One of my biggest dreams is to win a gold medal, and frankly, I think it’s one of the things that it doesn’t matter what event it’s in. A gold medal is a gold medal, where I feel like the Grand Slams is definitely way cooler to win a singles one than a doubles one,” Gauff told the media in Miami ahead of her opening match in the tournament.
Gauff added that she plans to continue playing as much doubles as she has been with fellow American Jessica Pegula for now but may think of lightening her doubles schedule after the Olympics.
