European Tennis Federation Launches Campaign to Erect Statue Honoring Coco Gauff
Brussels, Belgium – October 17, 2025.
In a historic and heartfelt announcement today, the President of the European Tennis Federation (ETF) unveiled an official campaign to erect a statue in honor of Coco Gauff, recognizing her as Europe’s No. 1 tennis player and one of the most inspiring athletes of her generation.
The ceremony, held at the ETF headquarters in Brussels, gathered leading figures from across the tennis world, including current and former champions, coaches, and young players who view Gauff as a role model. The announcement was met with overwhelming applause and emotion, marking a rare tribute to an athlete whose influence transcends borders.
“Coco is a tennis legend,” the ETF President declared. “Her extraordinary talent, unwavering discipline, and mental strength have not only rewritten tennis history but have also inspired generations of athletes around the world. She embodies the spirit of determination, respect, and unity that European tennis stands for.”
According to the Federation, the statue will be installed in Paris, near Roland Garros — a symbolic location where Gauff’s breakthrough victories and passionate performances captivated millions of fans. The sculpture will depict Gauff mid-swing, symbolizing her relentless energy, precision, and courage.
Coco Gauff, visibly moved to tears during the announcement, stood before an audience that rose to give her a standing ovation. When asked for her thoughts, she offered a short but deeply emotional statement — twenty words that touched every heart in the room:
“I’m humbled, grateful, and honored. Every match, every challenge, every fan has shaped who I am today. Thank you.”
Her sincerity and poise reflected the grace that has defined her both on and off the court. Known for her maturity beyond her years, Gauff has consistently emphasized sportsmanship, inclusivity, and empowerment — values that have made her a global ambassador for the sport.
European tennis fans have since flooded social media with messages of love and gratitude. Hashtags such as #ThankYouCoco and #CocoInBronze began trending across platforms within hours of the announcement. Many expressed their admiration not only for Gauff’s athletic achievements but also for her humility and advocacy for youth empowerment, education, and equality in sports.
“Coco has given us more than victories — she has given us hope,” wrote one fan from Spain. “She reminds us that greatness comes from heart, not just from talent.”
The European Tennis Federation confirmed that the fundraising and design phase for the statue will begin immediately, with plans to unveil the completed monument in spring 2026. The Federation also announced that a portion of the proceeds will support grassroots tennis programs for underprivileged youth across Europe, in honor of Gauff’s long-standing commitment to mentorship and community service.
As the world of tennis celebrates this moment, one truth stands clear: Coco Gauff’s legacy is already carved in history — soon, it will be carved in bronze.
