American tennis star Coco Gauff is making rapid strides in her career. At just 18, she became the youngest tennis player after Maria Sharapova to qualify for the WTA Finals. However, she had a forgettable outing during the tournament. The 18-year-old is now back home at Delray Beach.

After an exhausting season, Gauff is back home with a gift for her hometown. The world number 7 has gifted her iconic 2019 Wimbledon uniform to her hometown, Delray Beach.

Gauff thanks Delray Beach for the support

Coming from a small town in Southern Florida, Gauff made a big impact on her first Wimbledon outing. She defeated the legendary Venus Williams, when she was just 15. This moment was iconic for the city as people flocked in front of their TV screens to watch Gauff.

Now that she has returned home after a long season, Gauff‘s iconic Wimbledon jersey was unveiled in her city. Here’s what Gauff said about returning home: “Everyone’s like, Where are you going for vacation? And I’m like, I’m here at home. So, that’s my vacation, and I have a great time here in South Florida and especially in Delray.”

She further added, “I’ll always rep Delray Beach, so thank you,”
