Coco Gauff is really that girl. While she’s known for flawlessly serving on the tennis court, Gauff also serves looks in athletic fashion. Since beginning a partnership with New Balance five years ago, she’s garnered attention for using bold colors and youthful prints in her outfits. Gauff’s most recent win at the US Open on Sept. 9 was a stunning portrayal of her passion for the sport, of course, but it was also the debut of a new colorway of her New Balance Coco CG1 tennis shoes in “City Brights,” a red, black, and yellow mix. According to Sports Illustrated, her relationship with New Balance is also a family affair — Gauff’s mother and aunt helped create the new colorway to complement the 19-year-old’s skin tone.
Now that Gauff has won her first Grand Slam title, fans can only expect her to continue to soar beyond measurable heights. For those looking to step into their Coco Guaff era or just simply wanting to elevate their athletic gear, here is some of the hottest tennis-inspired clothing that will give you that winning spirit!
