Coco Gauff ready to switch sports in tennis off-season after Olympics

Coco Gauff wants to return to one of her old sports after an endorsement from Noah Lyles.

Coco Gauff is keen to return to another sport during the off-season after getting reinspired by the Olympics.

The world No. 2 entered all three tennis events at Paris 2024 but walked away without a medal

The 20-year-old was a track athlete during her time in school but ultimately went with tennis and it paid off – she made her Wimbledon debut aged 15 and won her first Grand Slam title last year. But the Olympic Games have given Gauff some FOMO as she continues to follow the track events from afar.

Asked whether she ever wondered what would have happened if she stuck with her other sport, the US Open champion said: “Yeah, I actually do, and, I mean, I do feel like I could have been, I don’t know if I would have been as good as I was in tennis in track, but I strongly feel like if I would have trained I could have been an Olympian.
