Coco Gauff is forging a new path for herself after reaching her maiden Grand Slam final last month. Three years after her victory over Venus Williams at Wimbledon, she returns to the same place hoping to achieve bigger things in the sport.

At 18, she has broken into the Top 15 of the world rankings, while also displaying a dominant brand of tennis. Gauff will seek inspiration from her fellow compatriots- Serena and Venus Williams, winners of a combined 12 Wimbledon singles titles.

Earlier this month, Gauff featured in a graphic watching the Williams sisters win the Wimbledon women’s doubles titles in 2012. The young American was portrayed watching the duo on a screen back in her hometown of Atlanta, Georgia.

Speaking ahead of her first-round match, Gauff said,?”I did not expect the [centenary] graphic to come out beforehand. “I saw it for the first time and I was almost about to cry because it just really takes you back.”
