Tennis star Coco Gauff recently shared that she purchased a home in Delray Beach, Florida. With the 2024 season—and WTA Finals title—behind her, she could be purchasing quite a few more homes, as her $4.8 million prize money check she earned in Saudi Arabia for winning the WTA Finals pushed her beyond $20 million earned in her career.

As Tim Henman rightly pointed out Coco Gauff has a "champion's heart." Following a remarkable triumph in Riyadh, the American WTA star solidified her position among tennis's brightest players. The post Coco Gauff Wins WTA Finals: Here’s How Chris Evert and Other Tennis Stars React to Her Astonishing Victory Over Qinwen Zheng appeared first on EssentiallySports.

Coco Gauff has wrapped up her season as well as possible. She won the WTA Finals and the $4.8 million check that came with the trophy and defeated the women ranked Nos. 1 and 2 along the way.

Gauff’s gritty play ultimately sealed her second major title, following her 2023 U.S. Open win, and marked her first significant achievement with her new coach, Matt Daly. Though she’s working to refine her serve and forehand, Gauff leaned into her core strengths—defense, footwork and patience—to win over Zheng.

In her most recent match on September 29, 2024, Gauff took home the win 7-5, 6-2 versus Katie Boulter in the Round of 32 of the China Open. On September 30, 2024, Zheng won her last match, 6-3, 6-2, over Nadia Podoroska in the Round of 32 of the China Open.

Coco Gauff has won the WTA Finals for the first time by rallying to beat Olympic champion Zheng Qinwen 3-6, 6-4, 7-6 (2) in the final in Riyadh.

Coco Gauff became the youngest WTA Finals winner since Maria Sharapova in 2004 on Saturday at age 20, and the first American woman to capture the year-ending tournament since Serena Williams in 2014.

Coco Gauff pays attention to what people say about her online and occasionally takes pleasure in clapping back.
