Coco Gauff grew up in Delray Beach, Florida and has become one of tennis' biggest stars. The 21-year-old is playing in the French Open final.

Roland Garros has a sort of magical quality to it. The clay courts and the views of Paris are just standing monuments to the history, the feeling, the love of tennis, and the unique atmosphere that makes the event feel both intimate and grand at the same time.

A little bit of self-persuasion went a very long way for Coco Gauff, whose victory at the French Open gave the 21-year-old American a trophy she has long coveted, and a second major title.
