Imagine being a worldwide star in your teens with a financial stability beyond your dreams! This is the reality for Coco Gauff, who clinched the U.S. Open women’s singles title. The win has seen the teenager make a handsome amount of money for herself, thanks to her marketability and excellent media presence. Keeping a steady head without getting dizzy by all the confetti around is not everyone’s cup of tea, but how has the 19-year-old handled it?

Coco Gauff has been in the limelight for over four years, since beating Venus Williams at Wimbledon 2019. Hence, she may be used to the attention, but a Grand Slam win is a whole different ball game. Has the teenager kept things down to earth since September 9? Let’s delve into what changes Gauff has experienced since she has become the darling of American tennis.

Life after stardom: A sneak peek into Coco Gauff’s ‘Grand’ approach

As the teen titan gets ready to play in Beijing, what’s really interesting are the things she did following her big breakthrough. Interviews, media commitments, and more are part of the experience. However, Coco Gauff, the grand slam winner, did not carry that tag into her time away.

According to a recent report by Puntodebreak, Coco Gauff stated, “Nothing has changed in my life because I am a Grand Slam champion. I had several parties and events in the days that followed; I went home and spent time with my grandmother, who made me homemade food, but then everything went back to normal.”

“I was a whole week without playing tennis, I had never gone so long without doing it, and the truth is that I ended up bored at home; it was strange not going to train, I know I have a lot of career ahead of me; this is just the beginning.” (translated via Google Translate)

Coco Gauff’s modest attitude and dedication to her sport isn’t a newfound behavior. Right after her win, in an exclusive interview with NBC, Gauff shared her experience of being a newly minted Grand Slam champion.

Gauff is staying grounded amidst grand success

“It’s still crazy,” Coco Gauff exclaimed during her appearance on NBC’s “TODAY” show. “Even last night, I was telling myself, ‘You’re a Grand Slam champion,’ and it doesn’t feel real at all.”

Coco Gauff made history by becoming the youngest American to win the US Open since Serena Williams in 1999. She won with a thrilling 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 victory against the glorious Aryna Sabalenka. The sheer magnitude of the achievement overwhelmed her. The 19-year-old fell to the ground, overcome with emotion, as she sobbed on the hallowed courts of Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City.

Coco Gauff’s amazing journey to becoming a Grand Slam champion not only shows her incredible talent but also her down-to-earth nature and determination. As she prepares for new challenges in Beijing, she remains a shining example of what can be achieved through talent, hard work, and staying true to oneself.
