Venus Williams and Serena Williams have been an inspiration for many young players entering the Tennis world. Coco Gauff is no different from others. The young US international spoke to CNN about her rise and inspirations in her career.

Gauff said that she is inspired by Serena Williams and Venus Williams. She added, “Not only their (Williams Sisters) games but how they handle themselves off the court is something I look up to.”

As per Coco, there is not much representation of people who look like her in the sport. It was the sisters who changed the young girl’s life, and “seeing them dominate and do it so elegantly inspired me,” she said.

The 17-year-old US international has made an early mark on the Tennis world. After Major’s debut in the US open as wild card entry in 2018, Coco made a huge stride as promising young talent available on the horizon. Next year she made it to the second round of the French Open and 4th round in Wimbledon

In Wimbledon, Coco Gauff faced her Idol Venus Williams and managed to win in straight sets. 2020 also saw a drastic growth in her capabilities, but she mostly found success in doubles tournaments. She made back-to-back quarterfinals appearances in the Australian Open (2020, 2021) and also reached the 2021 US Open doubles finals

Talented American spoke with CNN about her rise and inspiration. As said earlier, Serena Williams and Venus Williams’ impact shaped her for the Tennis, while she herself is also self-motivated.

On her quarterfinals match in last season’s Roland Garros, she said, “I learned I was capable of winning a Grand Slam. When you make the quarterfinals of a Slam it means you’re one of the eight best players in the world at that time. Hopefully I can get an even better result next time
