Coco Gauff Launches Under-16 Tennis Tournament in Georgia, Invites Tennis Legends to Inspire Young Talents
Teen tennis sensation Coco Gauff has announced an exciting new tennis tournament for under-16 players, set to take place in Georgia from December 4 to 14. The tournament, personally initiated by Gauff, aims to create opportunities for young tennis players to showcase their skills, compete, and gain exposure on a professional level.
What makes this event even more special is Gauff’s invitation to some of the sport’s greatest legends — Serena Williams, Roger Federer, Rafael Nadal, and Maria Sharapova. Their presence, if confirmed, would turn the tournament into a once-in-a-lifetime experience for participants, offering them the chance to learn directly from those who have shaped modern tennis history.
“When I was a kid, I dreamed of meeting players like Serena and Federer,” Gauff shared. “Now, I want to give that same inspiration to the next generation. This tournament is about believing in your dreams and working hard to make them real.”
The event, hosted at the Georgia Tennis Center, will feature not only competitive matches but also training sessions, motivational workshops, and exhibition games. These activities are designed to encourage young players to grow in both skill and confidence.
Gauff, who has already become a global role model at just 21, continues to use her influence to give back to the community. Her initiative reflects her passion for youth development and her commitment to growing the sport beyond her own success.
With a mix of competition, mentorship, and inspiration, Gauff’s under-16 tournament promises to be a celebration of tennis and talent, bringing together the legends of yesterday and the champions of tomorrow.
