Coco Gauff announces special project close to her heart as she prepares for Paris Olympics

Coco Gauff is giving back to the sport that has given her so much.

The tennis superstar has unveiled a renovated tennis court in Delray Beach, Florida, as part of the USTA’s $3 million US Open Legacy Initiative, which was created in honor of Gauff’s 2023 US Open title and is dedicated “to the refurbishment of tennis courts across the country.”

Gauff, 20, moved to Delray Beach when she was 8, so it made sense to choose these courts.

“First, here is because I think of the court that made the impact to me in the community, put so much into me so I have to give back to the community,” she told TODAY in a segment that aired March 20

In total, the USTA is allocating $3 million to reinvigorate courts at parks, schools, and other public facilities across America in honor of Coco Gauff,” the organization said in a statement last September after she won the tournament.

Gauff has a deep connection to the courts in Delray Beach, having trained on them as a child with her father.
