During an interview with PEOPLE, Gauff stated how proud she is of creating something new with AE. She added, “I just love the brand, and to be able to do something off-court was really exciting for me because most of the things I do are on the court.” She finds it “really cool” to do something more casual, as fashion has always been something that has attracted her besides tennis. Gauff loved how they incorporated her message to the haters on the denim jacket.

Apart from all of these things, she mentioned, “It’s great to see that brands are recognizing [women athletes]…I’m grateful that I live in this era where people and brands are starting to recognize our worth.” Share your thoughts on the new AE collections featuring one of the brightest stars in the tennis world
