Coco Gauff
An American champion whose speed, defense, and competitive appetite can turn pressure into momentum.
Tournament note
Defeated Claire Liu 6-3 6-7(5) 6-2 on No.1 Court.
Coco Gauff's game is anchored in movement and fight. She can defend with elite speed, extend rallies that look over, and then flip points with a serve or forehand when the moment opens.
On grass, that athletic base gives her a way to survive uncomfortable bounces and short reaction windows. Her Wimbledon 2026 win over Claire Liu showed the useful part of that identity: even after a second-set reset, Gauff had enough physical and mental margin to take command again in the third.
