The second of a new publication series focused on precious and pivotal moments in tennis, now featuring Coco Gauff at the 2023 US Open. The booklet includes 14 images and stories that follow the American tennis star throughout all seven matches of the tournament, resulting in her becoming a Grand Slam champion for the first time.
The cover depicts 19-year-old Gauff at the trophy ceremony, where she gave an unforgettable, impassioned speech. It followed a challenging two weeks and sent a message to anyone who doubted her. She became the first American teenager to win the US Open since Serena Williams in 1999.
Gauff, who goes by “Coco,” went pro at age 14. At 15, she garnered international attention for beating one of her idols, Venus Williams, at Wimbledon. Since then, her ascent in both singles and doubles has been steady. In 2022, she made her top-five debut in singles and became no. 1 in doubles. She also became the youngest singles player since 2005 to qualify for the year-end WTA Finals.
Photos of Gauff were taken throughout the US Open by leading photographers, including Antoine Couvercelle, Corinne Dubreuil, and Al Bello.
