Talk about domination in women’s tennis lately and the likes of Iga Swiatek [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/iga-swiatek/] and Coco Gauff [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cori-gauff/] will surely make it to your list. Such have been their performances over the past few years that they have gone on to win a major chunk of big tournaments. And that has been shown in the recently released list of nominees for the 2024 Laureus Awards. Both Gauff and Swiatek have a chance to bag the prestigious award. Let’s look at the fellow nominees and who has a better chance to claim this honor. While Swiatek has been nominated for the Sportswoman of the Year, Gauff will be eying the Breakthrough of the Year award. However, both these players will face stiff competition from some of the renowned athletes across the globe. ANALYZING IGA SWIATEK AND COCO GAUFF’S PROBABILITY OF WINNING THE LAUREUS SPORTS AWARD Last year, Swiatek won the French Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/french-open/], her third major title in Paris and fourth overall. Additionally, she won a host of other big titles like the China Open, and finished the year as the top-ranked female player. As a result, she is a potential candidate to be the Sportswoman of the Year. Iga Swiatek [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/2022-08-11T222835Z_301412538_MT1USATODAY18856422_RTRMADP_3_TENNIS-NATIONAL-BANK-OPEN.jpg]Aug 11, 2022; North York, ON, Canada; Iga Swiatek (POL) returns a ball to Beatriz Haddad Maia (not pictured) during third round play at Sobeys Stadium. Mandatory Credit: John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY Sports Swiatek is joined [https://www.laureus.com/world-sports-awards/2024] by the likes of Aitana Bonmati, Shericka Jackson, Faith Kipyegon, Sha’Carri Richardson, and Mikaela Shiffrin. While the Polish tennis star has a good chance to claim this honor, the decision could go either way with stars like Shiffrin and Jackson in the fray. On the other hand, Gauff has been nominated for the Breakthrough of the Year award. Last season, she clinched the US Open [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/us-open/] title, her maiden Grand Slam victory. Gauff put on a scintillating display in front of her home fans to win the trophy. Along with her success singles, Gauff also played doubles with Jessica Pegula consistently. DIVE DEEPER: Humiliation Against Anna Kalinskaya Draws a Salty Remark From World No.1 Iga Swiatek – ‘It Was More About Me’ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wta-tennis-news-humiliation-against-anna-kalinskaya-draws-a-salty-remark-from-world-no-one-iga-swiatek-it-was-more-about-me/] In Gauff’s category, the other nominees are Jude Bellingham, Linda Caicedo, Qin Haiyang, Josh Kerr, and Salma Paralluelo. Despite each one having their own success story, soccer sensation, Jude Bellingham had a remarkable season and is a favorite to win the award. Thus, comparing their chances, it looks more likely that Iga Swiatek will be able to win the Laureus award. If she does so, it will be her first Laureus award, having also been nominated in 2021 for the Breakthrough of the Year award. 

As Laureus announces nominations for 2024, Iga Swiatek and Coco Gauff receive major boost to win the prestigious award for the first time.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Coco Gauff 2024: Net worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center">Who is Coco Gauff?</h2>
Cori Dionne Gauff, a.k.a Coco Gauff, is an American tennis player who took everyone by surprise on the WTA Tour at the early age of 15. Her triumph over <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/venus-williams/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Venus Williams</a> in the 2019 <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/wimbledon-championships/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Wimbledon Championships</a> immediately made her an attractive figure in the tennis realm for renowned brands.

Carrying on her consistent run, Gauff went on to win the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/us-open/">US Open</a> in 2023 by defeating <strong>Aryna Sabalenka</strong> in the showdown. As the 2024 season began, the 19-year-old Gauff wasn't seen as just a rising star, but an already-established tennis specialist.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Coco Gauff’s early life</b></h2>
Coco Gauff was born in Delray Beach, Florida, on March 13, 2004. Her parents are Candi and Corey Gauff. She has two younger brothers: Codey, who is four years younger than her, and Cameron, who is nine years younger. Gauff was raised in Atlanta, and at the age of four, after watching Serena Williams win the 2009 Australian Open on television, she developed an interest in tennis.

[caption id="attachment_2137985" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2137985 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1672142744.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1280" /> NEW YORK, USA: September 9: Coco Gauff of the United States lifts the winners' trophy received from Billie Jean King after her victory against Aryna Sabalenka of Belarus in the Women's Singles Final on Arthur Ashe Stadium during the US Open Tennis Championship 2023 at the USTA National Tennis Centre on September 9th, 2023 in Flushing, Queens, New York City. (Photo by Tim Clayton/Corbis via Getty Images)[/caption]

The 2022 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/french-open/">French Open</a> finalist belongs to a family that has a rich history in sports. She received unconditional support from her parents and her brothers. The 19-year-old was encouraged by her parents to participate in other sports besides tennis, including basketball and track.

Gauff finished her schooling through an online school in Florida, where she learned tennis. She graduated from her online school in May 2022 from the Florida Virtual Flex Program. Gauff has <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wta-tennis-news-i-have-no-regrets-regarding-my-schooling-heres-what-american-tennis-star-coco-gauff-had-to-say-about-her-life/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">no regrets regarding where she went to school,</a> as she missed the experience of going to a traditional school.

The American sensation started playing tennis when she was 6. After winning the "Little Mo" eight-and-under national championship as an eight-year-old, she decided to make tennis her career because it was an individual sport. She has said that since she wasn't a team person, tennis was the perfect sport for her.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Coco Gauff’s boyfriend</b></h2>
After her US Open triumph, Coco Gauff hinted to the world about her relationship. She revealed that she asked her boyfriend to distract her from overthinking before her big match at the US Open. Gauff also mentioned that she talked to her boyfriend till 1 am. Interestingly, Gauff also revealed that this conversation helped her perform to the best of her abilities.

In November, last year, Gauff showcased an infinity necklace that was gifted to her by he boyfriend. As fans tried to guess the identity of her boyfriend, some came out with the names of ATP young guns like Alcaraz and Ben Shelton. However, Gauff's relationship with them doesn't extend beyond friendship. As it seems, fans will need to wait for Gauff to reveal the identity of her boyfriend.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Coco Gauff's net worth in 2024</h2>
To date, Gauff has earned $13,240,713 in prize money from several championships. As per Celebrity Net Worth, Gauff's net worth stands at approximately $3.5 million. Gauff's Grand Slam title at the US Open in 2023 came with a $3 million winner's cheque. <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2138058" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1657656688.jpg" alt="Coco Gauff" width="1" height="1" /><img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-2138058" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1657656688.jpg" alt="Coco Gauff" width="1" height="1" />

Gauff has been able to amass such a net worth due to her constant efforts on and off the court. Besides tennis, the young American sensation has managed to partake in several ventures to improve her financial status.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Coco Gauff’s tennis career timeline</h2>
The rising star has had a career full of highs and lows till now. Gauff qualified for the $25k Osprey, FL-USA, in May 2018 and made her ITF Women's Circuit debut there. She won her first professional match at the tournament. She received wildcard entries for the 2018 US Open and the 2019 French Open qualifiers. However, she failed to qualify for the main rounds of both the slams.

The world number 3 currently has many rivals, but she has yet to build a major rivalry with any players. Against the WTA world number 2 Aryna Sabalenka, Gauff leads 4 matches to 3. She has also faced the world number 6, Ons Jabeur five times and leads the head-to-head with 3 wins. <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/iga-swiatek/">Iga Swiatek</a>, the current number 1, can be said to be Gauff's biggest rival. Swiatek has faced Gauff 10 times and has won all but one of their bouts.

Coco Gauff has had many doubles partners till now. Currently, she teams up with world number 4, Jessica Pegula. The two have won two WTA 1000 Masters, including the Dubai Tennis Championships and the Canadian Open, both in 2022. However, following Pegula's disappointing end to the 2024 AO, the pair withdrew from the doubles sector as well.

In 2023, <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wta-tennis-news-despite-shock-wimbledon-exit-sixty-nine-thousand-reality-might-ease-coco-gauffs-nerves-as-she-looks-to-regain-lost-pride-with-jessica-pegula/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Wimbledon would be the biggest disappointment for her</a> as she would go on to exit in the first round. However, she has had a stellar American hard-court season. After winning the Citi Open in Washington, she bagged her first WTA 1000 title at the Western and Southern Open in Cincinnati.

Gauff's 2023 season began with a lot of ups and downs, however, she finally proved her potential by winning the US Open. She then picked more titles, as she also won the WTA 250 Auckland.

In doubles, along with her partner Jessica Pegula, Gauff won the Miami Open and played in the finals of the Madrid and Italian Open. Additionally, they would play in the Australian and French Open semifinals.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Coco Gauff's partnerships and endorsements</strong></h2>
Gauff plays with Head rackets, dons the New Balance logo on her attires, and wears their tennis shoes during professional matches. Gauff signed a multi-year sponsorship deal with New Balance in October 2018.

[caption id="attachment_2219745" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-2219745 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/imago1035287415h-scaled.jpg" alt="Coco Gauff" width="1920" height="1380" /> 231007 -- BEIJING, Oct. 7, 2023 -- Coco Gauff hits a return during the women s singles semifinal between Iga Swiatek of Poland and Coco Gauff of the United States at China Open tennis tournament in Beijing, capital of China, Oct. 7, 2023. SPCHINA-BEIJING-TENNIS-CHINA OPEN-WOMEN S SINGLES-SEMIFINAL CN LuoxYuan PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxCHN[/caption]

She has a well-established relationship with New Balance. After her first deal in 2018, Gauff and the sports apparel brand agreed to an extension in 2022. For the young player, the extension was an easy decision as she felt that she had a familial bond with the world-renowned brand.

Gauff also revealed that she was in a multi-year sponsorship deal with the Italian food manufacturer Barilla in March 2019, which also sponsors <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/roger-federer" target="_self" rel="noopener">Roger Federer</a>. Along with the Italian food brand, Gauff was also signed by Microsoft.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Coco Gauff's investments</strong></h2>
With greater on-court success, comes better business opportunities. Coco Gauff is not just a rising tennis star but also a brand that resonates with thousands of people. Gauff has shown her interest in investing at such a young age. According to Marca Lifestyle, she has invested in a clothing line and a tech start-up.

Apart from this, Gauff has also invested in a NGO, that she has co-founded. The NGO aims to help children in Africa receive better educational opportunities. Combining evergreen businesses with noble community work, Gauff's investment portfolio seems to be very promising.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Her family and how they support the young athlete</h2>
The WTA World No.3 was born to parents Candi and Corey Gauff. Her parents were also active in sports when they were young. Her mother was a track and field athlete at Florida State University, while her father was a college basketball player at Georgia State University. Corey later worked as a healthcare executive, and her mother was an educator.

Codey Gauff is Coco's younger brother and the middle child of the Gauff family. He is a junior high school student who is 15 years old. He is into baseball and mainly plays as a pitcher. Cameron Gauff is the youngest member of the Gauff family. Cameron plays football in the American Youth Football League or AYFL. He plays for the Delray team and hopes to play in the NFL one day.

The family moved to Delray Beach when Coco was seven years old so that she could be a part of a better training program. Before purchasing their home, they initially lived with Candi's parents. Coco started coaching under Gerard Loglo at the New Generation Tennis School when she was eight while living in Florida.

Her parents left their jobs to help raise their daughter and support her dreams. Afterward, her mother taught her by homeschooling her, and her father served as her primary coach since he had some prior tennis-playing experience. According to Coco, her brothers have contributed significantly to her career. She believes that because she is the oldest of three siblings, she had to mature faster to support her brothers.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">Gauff’s achievements on and off the field</h2>
In her 5 year career, Gauff has achieved more than the majority of the players in their entire career. Apart from the 2023 US Open title, she won the Linz Open in 2019. Following her victory in the WTA 250 event, she would go on to win two more events of the same caliber. She won the Emilia-Romagna Open in 2021 and the Auckland Classics in January 2023.

Besides her single's tour, her stint in doubles is more decorated. First partnering with Caty McNally, she won three tournament events, one Tier II and two WTA 250 championships. After she partnered with Jessica Pegula in 2022, she won five more tournaments. Three of those five victories came in the WTA 1000 championships.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Coco Gauff’s f</b>oundation and charity</h2>
In 2019, Gauff combined with other tennis stars to raise money for the benefit of the Bryan Brothers Foundation. In the Opening Night Gala at the US Open 2023, the USTA Foundation raised $3 million. The event featured Coco Gauff and <a class="mention-item" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/novak-djokovic/" data-player-id="atpd643">Novak Djokovic</a>, along with Billie Jean King, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and Grammy-winning artist Sara Bareilles.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Coco Gauff’s obsession with shoes</b></h2>

Being a proud sister, she shared the picture of the final product on her Instagram, along with a picture of her brother.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Coco Gauff's coach</strong></h2>
Coco Gauff has had a few coaches in her career. When she started focusing her efforts on the sport, her father left his daily job and started working as a full-time coach for his eldest child. He worked as her coach for a long time before she opted for someone with more experience in training players. She hired Diego Moyano as her coach and split with him in early April of 2023.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Iga Swiatek 2024: Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</strong></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Becoming the first Polish player to win a Grand Slam singles title at 19, Iga Swiatek was just beginning her journey to becoming the World No. 1 when she took home the 2020 French Open. Winning the title again in 2022 and 2023, and also claiming the 2022 US Open, Swiatek has claimed the top spot for more than 90 weeks as the World No. 1 in women’s singles. She is also the first Polish player, </span><span style="font-weight: 400">male or female, to reach the top ranking in singles.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Having lifted 18 singles titles in her career so far, the 22-year-old is on a warpath to victory. A proponent of equal pay for men and women in sports, Iga Swiatek is leading the charge to bridge the pay gap in tennis.</span>

Although she could not go too far in this year's Australian Open, she won the <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/indian-wells-masters/">Indian Wells Masters</a> in March after defeating Maria Sakkari in straight sets. Previously, she also won the Qatar Open. With her second title win this season, Swiatek looks stronger than ever to clinch another Grand Slam title soon.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek’s Early Life</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Iga Swiatek was born on May 31, 2001, in Warsaw, Poland, to Dorota and Tomasz Swiatek. Her father was a rower who competed in the men's quadruple sculls event at the 1988 Olympics held in Seoul. Her mother works as an orthodontist. She has a sister, Agata, who is three years older than her and works as a dentist.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Swiatek's father wanted his daughters to be competitive athletes. He preferred that they participate in individual sports rather than team sports, reasoning that they could have more influence over their chances of success. Agata started out as a swimmer but shifted to tennis due to difficulties with swimming. Iga followed in her sister's footsteps and started playing tennis as well. After all, what younger sibling doesn't want to emulate the older?</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b> Iga Swiatek’s boyfriend</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Despite the fact that Swiatek would have a lengthy list of suitors, the current number 1 has decided to remain uncommitted to a romantic relationship. There is no information or rumor about her dating life, current or past.</span>

On her social media pages, the young WTA star has not revealed anything about her relationships. She has also not been spotted with anyone in the media.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek: Net Worth 2024</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">The highly successful Polish player has garnered a total net worth of $23.9 million, per Forbes, ranking her among one of the highest-paid female athletes. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Her dedication, determination, and will to win have given her immense financial success, and it's only the beginning.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek’s Career</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">At the 2019 French Open, Swiatek reached the 4th round, stunning the 16th seed Wang Qiang in the 2nd round. In 2020, Swiatek reached the 4th round of the </span><a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/australian-open/"><b>Australian Open </b></a><span style="font-weight: 400">and the 3rd round of the</span> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/us-open-2020/"><b>US Open</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400">before making a big breakthrough at the</span> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/french-open-2020/"><b>French Open 2020</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400">, where she won her first Grand Slam title. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">The French Open breakthrough was massive as the 19-year-old won the tournament without dropping a single set and lost just 28 games all tournament. She defeated players like</span> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/simona-halep/"><b>Simona Halep</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400">and</span> <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/sofia-kenin/"><b>Sofia Kenin</b></a> <span style="font-weight: 400">on her way to the title.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">The 2022 season saw Swiatek taking massive strides toward greatness, as she won 6 consecutive titles on the tour, including the French Open title, which was her second Grand Slam title. Moreover, she also won the 'Sunshine Double'. Apart from that, the Polish sensation had a record 37-match unbeaten streak, which was broken by Alize Cornet at the Wimbledon Championships.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Following her Wimbledon defeat, Swiatek went headstrong into the US Open and played to win, demolishing everyone in her path to win her first US Open and the third slam of her career, sustaining her place at number 1.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Coming into 2023, Swiatek reached her 40th consecutive week at number 1. Coming into the Australian Open, she did not fare well, as she was out by round four. Following the slam, the Polish player performed to the best of her abilities to reach two Masters finals. French Open would prove to be her best once again as she went on to the final and won against Karolina Muchova in three sets.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Wimbledon would be difficult for her once again as she left the championships in the quarterfinal. 2024 did not begin well for Swiatek after she made a shocking third-round exit at the Australian Open, but she reclaimed her status by lifting the 18th singles title with a third consecutive Qatar crown.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek: Grand Slams</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Swiatek has won 7 titles on the ITF Tour and 15 WTA singles titles, including three French Open titles and one US Open. She is a doubles gold medalist at the Youth Olympics and a Fed Cup winner.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">Swiatek has won four grand slams in the time she has been an active WTA player. A year after her debut, she won her first slam, the French Open, when she was 19 in 2020. Then, in 2022, she reclaimed her name as the French Open champ and took it a step further with her US Open win. Last year, Swiatek defended her Roland Garros title but 2024 has yet to bring her any Slams.</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek’s Partnerships and Endorsements</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Swiatek was a <strong>Nike</strong> athlete until the start of 2020. After Nike, she signed on with </span><strong>Asics</strong><span style="font-weight: 400">.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek’s Records</b></h2>
At 22, Iga Swiatek is the first Polish player, male or female, to rise to glory in singles the way she has. With 4 Grand Slams already to her name, she had the longest winning streak in 2022 with 37 matches in a row from February until July. It was the first time in 25 years for a WTA player to claim that record, and Iga Swiatek has not stopped.

In November 2023, she became the first woman in 15 years, since Jelena Jankovic in 2007 and 2008, to record 65 tour-level wins in back-to-back seasons.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek's sports psychologist?</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Shining on the court is not the thing Iga Swiatek does. Taking benefit from the growing mental health support, Swiatek has also added a sports psychologist to her coaching team. Iga Swiatek and Daria Abramowicz have been together since 2019 when the Pole was only 17 and rated just outside the top 150 of the WTA. Although the two have maintained their partnership, their relationship sometimes comes off as a bit strange to some fans.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">An interaction on the Netflix series <em>Break Point</em> showed the two talking during a haircut appointment. Abramowicz said that her hair needs to be long enough to be tied up, but Swiatek wanted a haircut of her own choice and went against her psychologist. The interaction and moment raised quite a few eyebrows, all in good fun!</span>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek: Coaching staff</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400">Micha Kaznowski was Swiatek's primary coach in her early junior years, and she worked with him until the 2016 French Open. Jolanta Rusin-Krzepota was her physical preparation trainer for over four years, from the end of the 2014 US Open until the end of the 2019 US Open. Piotr Sierzputowski began coaching her in 2016.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400">While Sierzputowski was her coach, Nick Brown, a British former professional tennis player, and former Polish Davis Cup coach, served as a primary adviser on occasion. After nearly six years of collaboration, Swiatek announced her separation from Sierzputowski in December 2021. </span><span style="font-weight: 400">Tomasz Wiktorowski, who formerly coached Agnieszka Radwanska, is her current coach.</span>

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>Iga Swiatek’s Charity work</b></h2>
A true philanthrope off the court, Iga Swiatek never misses an opportunity to give back to the community. In November 2023, her racket used during the French Open final to beat Karolina Muchova was auctioned for charity. Ultimately sold for around $63k, it was reported that all of the funds would go to charities fighting to raise awareness of road accidents involving children.

With her open fight for mental health support, Swiatek has also been donating to organizations that combat stigma against the same. <em>"Each year around World Mental Health Day I have a special time when I stop for a moment and appreciate all the work on myself I do everyday as a person and as a tennis player," </em>Swiatek said last year.
