Coco Gauff Chooses Between Grand Slam and World No. 1 Ranking

Sports News

Coco Gauff has weighed in on a significant choice: winning another Grand Slam title versus achieving the world No. 1 ranking. The American tennis star, who triumphed at the US Open 2023, is currently ranked third in the world, with her highest ranking being No. 2.

When asked about her preference:

– What would you choose – to win another Grand Slam or to become world No. 1?

Gauff responded:

– Another Grand Slam. I always say that. I believe people remember you more for your Grand Slam titles than for holding the No. 1 ranking. Of course, achieving both would be fantastic.

Personally, with only one Grand Slam title to my name, I`m aiming for another. If I had around four Grand Slams and had never reached the No. 1 ranking, my perspective might be different.

But for now, with just one Grand Slam win, my priority is to win another to solidify my status, Gauff explained at a press conference in Miami.
