Coco Vandeweghe

Coco Vandeweghe has transitioned from a successful tennis career, marked by Grand Slam victories and top-10 rankings, to exploring opportunities beyond professional sports after her retirement. After winning the junior US Open singles title in 2008, Coco Vandeweghe turned professional the same year, quickly establishing herself with a powerful serve and aggressive playing style. She secured her first WTA Tour-level win in 2009 and achieved a significant milestone in 2010 with her first top-ten victory against Vera Zvonareva. By 2011, Vandeweghe entered the WTA top 100 rankings for the first time.

Her career progression continued, reaching her first career WTA final at the Stanford Classic in 2012. Vandeweghe earned her first WTA singles title at the Topshelf Open in 2014. The following year, she reached her first Grand Slam quarterfinal at Wimbledon. In 2016, she secured her first WTA doubles title at Indian Wells and her second WTA singles title at the Rosmalen Open.

That year also saw her reach two Grand Slam mixed doubles finals, partnering with Horia Tec?u at the Australian Open and Rajeev Ram at the US Open. She further partnered with Martina Hingis, reaching the US Open semifinals and achieving a career-high doubles ranking of No. 18. The 2017 season marked a career highlight for Vandeweghe, reaching her first Grand Slam singles semifinals at both the Australian Open and the US Open.

That same year, she played a pivotal role in leading the U.S. team to its first Fed Cup championship since 2000, winning all eight of her rubbers. This momentum culminated in her achieving a career-high singles ranking of world No. 9 in January 2018.

Coco Vandeweghe officially retired from professional tennis in August 2023, with the San Diego Open marking her final tournament.
