About this listen
As we head into early December 2025, tennis star Coco Gauff has officially wrapped up what she's calling "a longggg" season, and she's been surprisingly candid about it all. Her 2025 campaign officially ended on November 6th at the WTA Finals in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, after running from late December 2024 through the fall. The American ended her year with a solid 48 and 16 record, finishing as world number 3.
The big storyline right now is Gauff's emotional reflection on the entire season. She took to social media to share a heartfelt message with fans, acknowledging that while the year was filled with some disappointments, the positives far outweighed the negatives. She emphasized feeling proud of her accomplishments and expressed gratitude for the emotional rollercoaster that comes with professional tennis.
The season had genuine highs and lows. On the bright side, Gauff claimed two major titles that will define this year. She won the prestigious Wuhan Open in October, defeating Jessica Pegula in the final, and most impressively, she captured the French Open at Roland Garros, earning that coveted Grand Slam victory. She also won the United Cup to start the year strong. However, there were painful moments too. Early exits at Wimbledon and the US Open, plus losses at major tournaments like Indian Wells and Miami, showed the ups and downs of elite tennis.
At the WTA Finals in Riyadh, where she arrived as the defending champion, Gauff struggled in the group stage. She lost to Jessica Pegula and world number 1 Aryna Sabalenka but managed one victory over Jasmine Paolini. That performance meant she couldn't advance out of her group, ending her title defense.
The personal support has been overwhelming. Her parents, Corey and Candi Gauff, both publicly praised her resilience and maturity in handling the season's challenges. Her boyfriend, Jalen Sera, also expressed pride in her accomplishments. Her father specifically reminded her that setbacks fuel comebacks, encouraging her to enjoy life and continue pursuing her dreams.
Now Gauff is taking some well deserved rest before gearing up for the 2026 season. She's signaled she'll be back on court next year with renewed energy.
