Coming from a lineage of successful athletes, Coco Gauff’s drive and determination towards stardom began at a young age. Despite being urged to play basketball by her father early on, Gauff found her true passion in tennis after becoming increasingly inspired and enamored with the triumphs of the legendary Serena and Venus Williams which led to her picking up her first tennis racket at the age of 7. Fast forward just over 10 years later, and Coco is now the emerging face of women’s tennis and right on track to chase the accolades and records set by her idols. At 18 years old, Coco is the youngest woman ever ranked within the WTA’s top 100 ranking (currently #13 overall) and continues to ascend the ranks in both singles and doubles. More impressive than her on-court feats, Gauff’s youthful charisma and energetic competitive fire makes her a fan-favorite across the sport and someone every tennis fan will be rooting for as she continues to ascend the rankings in her promising career. This p-velvet archival paper is autographed by Coco Gauff. Gauff’s signature was witnessed by an Upper Deck representative as part of UDA’s 5-step authentication process. This item is not limited.
