WATCH: Young Coco Gauff cheering on Venus Williams in US Open 2012

There have been some great stars in the WTA scene who have put Women's tennis on the charts and we have loved to see these players perform in this season as well. Though we have liked the rivalry between Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek, there is one player who has also given us some great performances down the line as well. One of the best young superstars so far has been Coco Gauff who is the current World number 3 in the rankings.

Coco Gauff came onto the scene and impressed us with her brilliant athleticism and aggressive style of tennis when she turned professional at the age of just 14. From here her rise to fame continued growing where she finally won her first Grand Slam by winning the US Open in 2023 at the age of 19. It has been a great career so far and she will also go into the US Open as the defending champion this season. It will interesting to see if the American number one can retain her Grand Slam title as well.

There is no doubt that we have learnt about the history of some great players in the game of tennis and their rise to stardom. We all forget that some of the stars right now had some humble beginnings and Gauff had started the same way. 2018 was not the first time she was seen on the court since there is a clip where we can see an 8-year-old Coco Gauff in the stands of the US Open 2012. The young star was seen just behind Venus Williams dug out cheering the legendary player on. Who knew that this cute girl in the stands would go on to become one of the biggest stars in the game right now?
