About this listen
Coco Gauff has owned the headlines in tennis this past week as the ripple effects of her 2025 US Open performance shift the sport’s landscape. On September 9, Coco sent shockwaves through the WTA rankings with her powerful run at Flushing Meadows, putting her firmly back in the Top 10 and dominating tennis conversations on platforms like YouTube where experts break down her rise and speculate on her future as a potential world number one. According to TennisUpToDate, she remains in the hunt for a coveted spot in the WTA Finals, despite a bittersweet US Open where she fell in the fourth round to Naomi Osaka, dashing hopes of a home Slam title but marking another chapter of growth for the 21-year-old prodigy.
Coco’s story at this year’s US Open has been emotionally charged. USA Today and AOL report that Gauff broke down in tears after her defeat by Osaka, struggling with disappointment before rallying to reflect publicly on Instagram, thanking New York and promising “we keep building.” That message drew a heartfelt response from her boyfriend, Jalen Sera, who posted “Upwards and onwards,” and three heart emojis—the sort of supportive gesture that has made headlines in Times of India, where their relationship is praised as a source of strength. Gauff herself told E! News that after tough matches she leans on Jalen, “he is the only one that can take me and my mood after a loss,” showing how her private world underpins her public resilience.
Off the court, Coco’s business ventures are just as impressive. Fortune highlights her expanding empire: she recently launched Coco Gauff Enterprise to manage brand partnerships with New Balance, Rolex, and Head, as well as a signature protein smoothie with Naked Juices. WME powers her talent representation, aligning Gauff alongside sports icons like Serena Williams and Carlos Alcaraz. The Florida native also became America’s youngest Olympic flag bearer in Paris, solidifying her status as a role model beyond tennis.
Her social media presence has been steady, with Coco sharing reflective and personal posts about both triumph and heartbreak. In addition to the tennis drama, she reached out with loving support to Jalen Sera following his recent family loss, as reported by EssentiallySports, proving her compassion off the court matches her competitive fire on it. Gauff’s everyday pleasures show a Gen Z mix: Depop thrifting, $3,000 shopping sprees, and a $2 Trivia Crack subscription, according to Fortune.
