Coco Gauff Launches Management Firm, Exits Team8

Coco Gauff, the world number three in tennis, has announced the launch of her own management firm, Coco Gauff Enterprises, marking a significant step in taking ownership of her career and business ventures. This decision follows her departure from Team8, the agency co-founded by Roger Federer, as she seeks to empower herself as both an athlete and an entrepreneur with support from talent agency WME. Gauff, who remains focused on her tennis career, notably won the 2023 U.S. Open and is ranked third in singles, with total earnings of $30.4 million in 2024, making her the highest-earning female athlete. In her social media announcement, she expressed excitement about this new chapter and emphasized her broader ambitions beyond tennis, including philanthropy and business. Gauff's journey into entrepreneurship comes after her remarkable rise in the sport, highlighted by her historic Wimbledon debut in 2019. As she transitions into this new role, she aims to make a significant impact both on and off the court.
