When looking to break onto the scene in any sport, the much anticipated first victory often comes with a sigh of relief in gaining the reassurance that you are meant to be there.  On October 13, 2019, Coco Gauff’s first WTA title came at just 15 years old when she defeated 2017 French Open Champion Jelena Ostapenko 6-3, 1-6, 6-2 to win the 2019 Linz Open in Austria. Although Gauff had not won yet in her early career, she did not shy away from the moment and proved that she was right where she belonged as she upset the #1 seed Kiki Bertens and former Top-10 player Andrea Petkovic while on her way to the final. Since capturing her first title, Coco has dominated the field across a multitude of tournaments and now sits at #13 in the WTA rankings with her motives set on winning her first Grand Slam in the near future.
