Coco Gauff will lead the U.S. tennis team at the Paris Olympics, three years after missing the Tokyo Games due to COVID-19. The American team features six first-time Olympians. Gauff, the U.S. Open champion, will be joined by notable players including Jessica Pegula and Taylor Fritz.

Coco Gauff is set to headline the United States tennis team at the upcoming Paris Olympics, marking a significant comeback after she was forced to sit out the Tokyo Games due to a positive COVID-19 test.

The 20-year-old, currently ranked No. 2, will be joined by world No. 5 Jessica Pegula, Danielle Collins, and Emma Navarro in women's singles. The men's singles squad includes Taylor Fritz, Tommy Paul, Chris Eubanks, and Marcos Giron, with Olympic tennis commencing on July 27 at Roland Garros.

The U.S. Tennis Association revealed that six members of the team are first-time Olympians. Gauff, the reigning U.S. Open champion and a Roland Garros finalist in 2022, will compete for both singles and doubles medals, pairing with Pegula, with whom she has won five doubles titles.
