Coco Gauff's 2025 - Targeting Grand Slam Glory

Coco Gauff's Possible 2025 Tennis Calendar

The 2025 tennis calendar holds great significance for Coco Gauff. She has opted not to defend her title at the ASB Classic in Auckland as she will be competing in the United Cup in Australia alongside Taylor Fritz and Danielle Collins. This shows her commitment to representing her country on the international stage. The Australian Open, which she has a decent record at since making her debut in 2020, is another major event on her calendar. She has reached various rounds over the years, including the fourth round, second round, first round, and semi-finals. In 2024, she unfortunately lost in the last four to eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka.

The Qatar Open, the first WTA 1000 event of the season, attracts many big names. Gauff had a tough time at the 2024 edition, losing in straight sets in the second round against Katerina Siniakova. This setback will likely motivate her to perform better in the future.

Qatar Open – February 10-16

The Dubai Tennis Championships, with back-to-back WTA 1000 events in two weeks in the Middle East, is usually a challenging tournament for players. Last year, Gauff won two matches but then lost against Anna Kalinskaya in three sets. This experience will help her prepare for future tournaments in the region.

The Indian Wells Open is a highly coveted tournament for Gauff. She has made steady progress over the years, reaching the third round in her first two appearances, the quarters in 2023, and the semi-final in 2024. This shows her continuous improvement and determination to succeed at this prestigious event.

Indian Wells Open – March 5-16

The Miami Open is another tournament that Gauff is yet to enjoy a deep run in. She has reached the fourth round on a couple of occasions, with one such instance being in 2024 when she lost in three sets against Caroline Garcia. This highlights the need for her to fine-tune her game for this important tournament.

Miami Open – March 18-30

The Stuttgart Open, although not a WTA 1000 event, is a high-profile tournament where the winner gets a brand new Porsche. Gauff lost in the quarter-final in 2024, but this experience will only make her more determined to perform well in similar events in the future.

Stuttgart Open – April 14-20

The Madrid Open was a turning point for Gauff last year as she won two matches before losing to Madison Keys in the fourth round. This shows her potential at this WTA 1000 event and her ability to compete with the best.

Madrid Open – April 22-May 4

The Italian Open was another successful tournament for Gauff as she reached the semi-final. She defeated Ons Jabeur in the quarter-final before losing against top seed Iga Swiatek. This shows her consistency and ability to perform well in different tournaments.

Italian Open – May 8-18

Gauff has an excellent record at Roland Garros, having reached various rounds over the years. Last year, she lost again against Swiatek in the last four, but she did taste trophy success in Paris by winning the doubles alongside Katerina Siniakova. This highlights her versatility on the court.

French Open – May 25-June 8

After her extended run on clay, Gauff played only one warm-up event before the grass-court major, which was in Berlin. She lost in the semi-final against Jessica Pegula. She could also feature at the newly launched women’s Queen’s Club Championship the week before the Berlin Open in 2025, adding another challenge to her schedule.

Queen’s Club Championship /German Open- June 9-15 / June 16-22

The Wimbledon tournament holds a special place in Gauff's career as she reached the main draw and subsequent fourth round as a 15-year-old. However, she is yet to progress past the fourth round, as she was upset by fellow American Emma Navarro last time out. This shows the competitiveness of the tournament and the need for her to keep improving.

Wimbledon – June 30-July 13

The Citi DC Open is another event that Gauff has a history with. After winning the title in 2023, she was unable to defend it due to the Paris 2024 Olympics. She is set to make her fourth appearance in Washington D.C, having lost in the first round on her debut as a qualifier in 2019, finished runner-up to Pegula in 2021, and won the title two years later. This shows her growth and consistency over the years.

Citi DC Open – July 21-27

The Canadian Open was a tough tournament for Gauff after the Paris Olympics. She lost in the third round last time out after reaching the quarter-final in the previous three years. This shows the impact of the Olympics on her performance and the need for her to recover quickly.

Canadian Open – July 27-August 8

The Cincinnati Open was a disappointment for Gauff as she slumped to a second-round defeat during her title defence. But outside of her title run, she hasn't made it past the second round. This highlights the need for her to focus and perform at her best in this tournament.

Cincinnati Open – August 7-18

The 2023 US Open champion's defence of her crown in Flushing Meadows was ended by Navarro in the fourth round. She has had varying results at the US Open over the years, reaching the quarter-final in 2022, the second round in 2021, the first round in 2020, and the third round in 2019. This shows the challenges she faces at this major event.

US Open – August 25-September 7

The China Open was a last-minute addition to Gauff's calendar in 2024 and it paid off as she went all the way. She is expected to return for her title defence in 2025, which will be an important test for her.

China Open – September 24-October 5

The Wuhan Open returned to the calendar in 2024 and Gauff reached the semi-final on her debut, losing against eventual champion Aryna Sabalenka. This shows her ability to perform well in new tournaments and her competitiveness against the top players.

Wuhan Open – October 6-12

Gauff is the defending WTA Finals champion as she defeated Iga Swiatek, Aryna Sabalenka, and Zheng Qinwen en route to the title in Saudi Arabia in 2024. This is a remarkable achievement and will give her confidence as she looks ahead to 2025.

WTA Finals – November 3-9
