<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 overÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/venus-williams/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Venus Williams</a>Â in the 2019Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/tennis/wimbledon-championships/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Wimbledon Championships</a>Â 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 Gauffâ€™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.

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 hasÂ <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>Â 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 Gauffâ€™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.Â <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 Gauffâ€™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 2018Â US OpenÂ 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>Â 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 alsoÂ 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.

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">Gauffâ€™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.
