The 2024 Coco Gauff tennis season officially began on 1 January 2024, with the start of the Auckland Classic in Auckland.
Yearly summary At the Italian Open she reached the semifinal for the second time at this tournament and second at the WTA 1000 level for the season defeating Magdalena Fręch, Jaqueline Cristian, Paula Badosa and seventh seed Zheng Qinwen. With the win, she passed Caroline Wozniacki for the most WTA 1000 wins before turning 21. She lost to world No. 1 Iga Świątek, in straight sets. At the same tournament, partnering Erin Routliffe, she reached a consecutive final in doubles.
At the 2024 French Open with new partner Katerina Siniaková, she lifted her first Grand Slam tournament doubles trophy defeating 11th seeds Sara Errani and Jasmine Paolini in the final. In singles, also at Roland Garros, she reached the semifinals and was defeated by eventual champion Iga Swiatek, but despite the loss reached a new career-high ranking of world No. 2 in singles on 10 June 2024.
At the 2024 Wimbledon Championships, Gauff went out in the fourth round to Emma Navarro. Gauff was chosen by her Olympic teammates to be the female flag-bearer for the United States at the opening ceremony of the 2024 Summer Olympics in Paris, alongside LeBron James. She became the youngest athlete to be so honored. In singles, she lost in the third round to Donna Vekić in straight sets. At the 2024 China Open, she became the youngest China Open champion in 14 years after defeating Karolina Muchova in the final. It was her second WTA 1000 title and eighth career singles title. Gauff will be the second American champion in Beijing, following Serena Williams title runs in 2004 and 2013.
On November 9, 2024, Gauff won the 2024 WTA Finals singles champion, becoming the youngest player to win the WTA Finals since Maria Sharapova in 2004 and the first American to win the finals since Serena Williams in 2014. She beat Iga Swiatek, the No. 2 seed and defending champion of the WTA final in Riyadh. She then defeated Sabalenka in the semis and Zheng Qinwen in the finals to capture her first year-end singles championship title.
