International tennis sensation Coco Gauff returns to Mason this week to defend her title at the Cincinnati Open, formerly known as the Western & Southern Open.
At just 20 years old, Gauff became the tournament’s youngest female champion last year at the Lindner Family Tennis Center.
Following her Cincinnati triumph, Gauff clinched victories at the 2023 US Open and the 2024 Auckland Open in New Zealand, and also represented the United States at the Paris Olympics.
“I put a lot of pressure on myself, so I’m trying to take a step back and enjoy what I’ve done,” Gauff remarked on Monday upon her return to Cincinnati. “Obviously I want to win, but I have time. I hope for another ten years in my career.”
Reflecting on her Olympic journey, Gauff, who had the honor of being a flag bearer for Team USA, entered as a gold medal favorite but was ousted by Croatia’s Donna Vekic.
