Coco Gauff has been chosen by her peers to join LeBron James as a flag bearer for the United States in Friday’s opening ceremonies.
This honor makes the reigning US Open champion the youngest flag bearer in U.S. history and the first tennis player to receive the distinction. Gauff’s selection highlights her growing influence and success in the sport, underscoring her status as a trailblazer in American tennis.
The moment Coco Gauff heard she would be the flag bearer alongside LeBron James for Team USA at the Olympic Opening Ceremony.
Beautiful that the news came from Chris Eubanks, who’s known her & her family since she was a child.
“Okay, I’m not gonna cry… I’m okay.”
