‘Biggest Target’: Coco Gauff Reveals Season Goals Following 2021 Success

American teenager Coco Gauff has been one of the most impressive players on the tour. With each passing year, she is making constant progress in her style of play. 

Coco came to prominent notice when she knocked out seven-time Grand Slam Champion Venus Williams at the Wimbledon Championships as just a 15-year-old girl. But what’s next for her?

Coco Gauff is optimistic about the 2022 season

As the new season is underway, Gauff has set a few targets for herself. She wishes to improve herself as a person and to achieve further success in the Grand Slam events. 

The 17-year-old player recently spoke on this subject and stated, “The biggest target is winning a Grand Slam. That’s the goal. But also just continuing to be a better person and better player on the court. I would say handling my emotions a little bit better are something I need to work on, and I worked on.”

Speaking of events in the last season, Gauff has been growing consistently in her game. She reached the quarterfinal of the French Open, which is her best result in the Grand Slam events. The teen sensation also reached the finals of the US Open doubles category.
