2024 US Open: Coco Gauff’s rising career hits a bump before she defends her first Grand Slam title

Associated Press  

NEW YORK — Yes, Coco Gauff is a Grand Slam champion. “She’s really embraced her star power, kind of,” said Jessica Pegula, a top-10 singles player and Gauff’s frequent doubles partner, “but at the same time, she’s like a kid.” On court vs. off court for Gauff The off-court aspects of Gauff’s Olympics debut were a huge success: meeting James; collecting pins; the college-style getting to know folks of various backgrounds; chatting at breakfast with athletes such as 100-meter dash gold medalist Noah Lyles. “I’ll try to take the positive out of it,” Gauff said, “and do better next time.” Gauff is going through a slump as she goes back to the U.S. Open With her title defense — a term she says she doesn’t love — about to begin, Gauff is going through a rough stretch of results. “She’s getting constant attention, all the time, and that’s a lot to deal with,” said Emma Navarro, who beat Gauff at Wimbledon and was her U.S. teammate at the Olympics. She’s going to be the next one that dominates.’ That stays with you for a long time.” There will be other story lines of interest, from top-ranked Jannik Sinner’s recent doping case to defending champion Novak Djokovic’s bid for a 25th Grand Slam title to Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka vying for a second major championship of 2024 to the U.S. men trying to end a 21-year Slam drought.
