STORYLINES

Not many collegiate athletes, let alone tennis players, are able to

make the transition to the pro tour, and those that do very rarely

tend to pan out, but Jennifer Brady has proven to be an exception

to those trends.

The 2014 NCAA National Champion from UCLA turned pro in the

summer of 2015 and made a name for herself in 2017 after

producing a breakout campaign which led to the first Top 100

finish of her career, ending the year at No.64.

The American turned in strong performances at the Grand Slams

in 2017, reaching the last 16 at the Australian Open and US Open.

She won through three rounds of qualifying at the Australian

Open and went on to become the first American female qualifier

to reach the fourth round at Melbourne Park in the Open Era.

Brady has been off to a firing start in 2020, opening the season

with a quarterfinal run at Brisbane, where she defeated former

World No.1 Maria Sharapova and the reigning No.1 Ashleigh Barty.

She also notched three consecutive Top 20 wins to reach the

semifinals at Dubai in February.

STORYLINES

Coco Gauff, a 16-year-old from Delray Beach, Fl., took the world by storm

during her fairytale run on the grass courts of Wimbledon in 2019.

Becoming the youngest player to reach the Wimbledon main draw through

qualifying, Gauff quickly proved her worth among the top players as she

ousted Venus Williams en route to the fourth round.

Gauff continued to impress in 2019, reaching the third round at the US

Open before picking up her maiden WTA singles title at Linz. She also

captured her first WTA doubles titles with her good friend Caty McNally at

Washington, DC and Luxembourg.

Though she won the hearts of the world at Wimbledon, Coco’s impressive

game has been on display for much longer. At just 13-years-old she became

the youngest player to reach the US Open junior final in 2017. She then

went on to lift the 2018 Junior Orange Bowl trophy, the 2018 French Open

girls' singles championship and the 2018 US Open girls’ doubles

championship.

Coco’s interest in sport comes as no surprise with both of her parents being

colligate athletes, her father playing basketball for Georgia State University

and her mother a track and field star at Florida State University. And while

Gauff is a force on the tennis court, her interests range from music to

memes, with a few of her favorite artists being Jaden Smith, Rihanna and

Beyoncé.

STORYLINES

Not many collegiate athletes, let alone tennis players, are able to

make the transition to the pro tour, and those that do very rarely

tend to pan out, but Jennifer Brady has proven to be an exception

to those trends.

The 2014 NCAA National Champion from UCLA turned pro in the

summer of 2015 and made a name for herself in 2017 after

producing a breakout campaign which led to the first Top 100

finish of her career, ending the year at No.64.

The American turned in strong performances at the Grand Slams

in 2017, reaching the last 16 at the Australian Open and US Open.

She won through three rounds of qualifying at the Australian

Open and went on to become the first American female qualifier

to reach the fourth round at Melbourne Park in the Open Era.

Brady has been off to a firing start in 2020, opening the season

with a quarterfinal run at Brisbane, where she defeated former

World No.1 Maria Sharapova and the reigning No.1 Ashleigh Barty.

She also notched three consecutive Top 20 wins to reach the

semifinals at Dubai in February.
