Coco Gauff won her second Grand Slam title at Roland Garros this year.
Gauff beat Aryna Sabalenka to win her second major title, adding to her victory at the 2023 US Open.
Since winning her second singles title in Paris, Gauff has been congratulated by Carlos Alcaraz and many other big names across the sporting world and beyond.
Gauff has already made American history, and previous comments she has made show just how much the 21-year-old thinks she can achieve.
How many Grand Slams Coco Gauff has already claimed she wants to win
Since coming onto the scene as a 15-year-old, when Gauff beat Venus Williams at Wimbledon, she has been backed to achieve big things in the sport.
Gauff won the US Open to kick off her Grand Slam haul in 2023, and she was asked in her pre-tournament press conference at the subsequent Australian Open what her career targets were.
Many players would try and swerve this question, but Gauff admitted that she wanted to win at least 10 major titles before she retired.
“I mean, I would say recently I feel like I wanted to get double-digits,” said Gauff, “That’s, like, cool. But there’s no number.
“Yeah, who knows? That could change depending on how my career goes. Right now I would say double-digits would be pretty awesome. I don’t know if it will happen, but I think that’s a high goal. I think setting my goals high pushes me beyond what I think I can do.”
WTA players to have won 10+ Grand Slam titles in the Open Era
With Gauff stating that she would like to win at least 10 Grand Slam titles in her career, she is looking to join an exclusive group of WTA legends.
Since the turn of the Open Era in 1968, only five women have managed to win double-digit majors.
This list is headlined by Serena Williams, who Gauff never played in her career, and also features Steffi Graf, Chris Evert and Martina Navratilova.
| WTA Player | Grand Slam titles in the Open Era |
| Serena Williams | 23 |
| Steffi Graf | 22 |
| Chris Evert | 18 |
| Martina Navratilova | 18 |
| Margaret Court | 11 (24 overall) |
Gauff’s next Grand Slam opportunity is Wimbledon, which is actually her worst-performing major to date.
She will begin her grass court season at the Berlin Open, before she heads to Wimbledon as the second seed.
