Coco Gauff has been announced as a player-owner for the relaunched World Team Tennis (WTT) league, set to begin in December. Gauff, currently ranked No. 4 in the world, will play for the Florida Flamingos alongside Tommy Paul, Learner Tien, Brandon Nakashima, Iva Jovic, and Eva Lys. This marks Gauff's first time participating in the league, which was originally founded by Billie Jean King in 1974 and last held a season in 2021.
The WTT offers players equity and win bonuses to encourage their participation, with matches featuring no-ad scoring and four singles sets followed by a mixed doubles tiebreak.
