Coco Gauff's outfits for the 2024 Australian Open have been revealed. The American will be sporting New Balance's new Australian Open line at the first Slam of the year.
Gauff signed her first contract with New Balance at the age of 14. She signed an extension in 2022, when she was 18. Speaking on her relationship with New Balance, Gauff said in 2022 (as reported by Forbes):
"I couldn't ask for a more committed team that is forward-thinking in their approach and match my love for the game with their passion for quality and creativity. New Balance has supported me since my junior tennis years and has been by my side for the biggest moments of my career. The team feels like family, so it was an easy decision to extend with a team that has embraced me as a person and genuinely works to help bring out my best."
With just about a week left for the Happy Slam, New Balance has dropped its New Balance x Australian Open collection. Coco Gauff's outfits will use the color scheme of navy and yellow.
Her first kit will be a yellow top and skirt with navy-colored stripes on both of them. The alternate kit will be the exact opposite of her first kit - a navy-colored top and skirt with yellow colored stripes. Gauff will also be putting on her signature shoes, the Coco CG1s, to complete her look.
Coco Gauff is one of the favorites to win the Australian Open 2024
Coco Gauff rose to fame when she defeated former World No. 1 Venus Williams in the first round of the 2019 Wimbledon Championships at the age of 15. It has been an upward path ever since for the American, who has now won seven singles titles in her career.
Gauff has been in phenomenal form since the 2023 North American hardcourt swing. The 19-year-old bagged the Washington Open, the Cincinnati Masters and the US Open, and in the period dating back to Cincinnati, she has won 23 out of 26 matches.
Gauff carried that form into 2024 and kicked off her campaign at the ASB Classic in style. She went in as the reigning champion and didn't drop a single set till the finals.
The American eventually defeated Elina Svitolina (4)6-7, 6-3, 6-3 to defend her title, and now looks in good shape for the Australian Open.
Last year she lost early to Jelena Ostapenko in straight sets, but the World No. 4 will look to build on her current form and capture her second Grand Slam title this year.
