Coco Gauff celebrates her victory in the French Open

A year after winning a Grand Slam title, Coco Gauff is teaming up with the “Breakfast of Champions.”

As she prepares to defend her U.S. Open title, Gauff will appear on the cover of a special edition Wheaties box, the cereal company announced on Tuesday.

The U.S. Open starts next Monday. Gauff won the tournament in 2023 at age 19, becoming the youngest American champion there since Serena Williams in 1999.

Gauff’s Wheaties box follows the honor given to 39-time major champion and equal rights advocate Billie Jean King by the brand a few months ago.

“I’ve had so many role models in this sport help guide my professional and personal journey, and I hope to keep empowering the next generation to also work hard and dream big,” Gauff said.
