Coco Gauff made a stylish statement on the first day of the US Open, embracing the Tennis-Core style in a sleek New Balance outfit.

The 20-year-old tennis star wore a sky-blue cut-out skort dress with minimal branding, setting the tone as she powered past France’s Varvara Gracheva in a commanding 6-2, 6-0 win to secure her place in the second round.

Gauff’s outfit featured a sky-blue top accented with highlighter-yellow and white stripes, along with a crossover back in bright yellow. She paired it with a matching skort and completed the look with a vibrant yellow headband.

Her accessories, a beaded bracelet, silver earrings, and an Olympic-themed silver necklace, added a touch of personality and sophistication to her on-court appearance.

Gauff also debuted the colorful New Balance Coco CG2 tennis shoe, designed with personal elements such as her initials and a tribute to the Statue of Liberty in New York City. In a statement, Gauff reflected on the significance of the shoe’s design, saying, “The Coco CG2 has so many design details that represent who I am and where I’m at in my life now.”

The shoe was designed for those who embrace boldness, and the Coco CG2 captures her personal journey both on and off the court in beautiful fashion.

Off the court, Gauff recently made headlines as the flag bearer for Team USA at the 2024 Paris Olympics, becoming the youngest athlete and first tennis player to hold the prestigious role. Wearing a Ralph Lauren white blazer with red and blue stripes, Gauff proudly represented her country at the global event.

As the reigning US Open champion, Gauff enters the tournament with high hopes of defending her title. After a challenging debut at the Paris Olympics, she aims to deliver another memorable performance at her home Grand Slam, much to the excitement of her fans.
