Coco Gauff has named the Paris Olympics as one of her top priorities for the 2024 season, valuing the event on par with the Grand Slams. During a press conference at the Italian Open earlier this year, the American shed light on her goal to bring home a medal on her debut.
“For me, the Olympics is a top priority. I would say equal to the Grand Slams. I wouldn’t put it above or below just because I’ve never played before. This is my first time. Obviously, I always want to do well, try to get a medal. Yeah, I mean, but the prep is going to be interesting because I’ve never done the grass-to-clay transition before,” she said.
However, the World No. 2 emphasized that she won’t put too much pressure on herself to clinch a medal, asserting that she intends to enjoy her campaign by treating it like a “once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
“I’m not putting too much pressure on it because I really want to fully indulge in the experience. Hopefully I can have the experience multiple times in my lifetime. I’ll treat it as a once-in-a-lifetime experience,” she added.
Coco Gauff has favorable +650 odds of clinching the gold medal at the Paris Olympics, according to betting site FanDuel. The American is second only to Iga Swiatek, who is the frontrunner with -250 odds.
