Wimbledon 2025: Coco Gauff reveals what she will do after retiring from tennis
21-year-old Coco Gauff, who is the current World No. 2 and reigning US Open champion, is making waves beyond tennis. Ahead of another major tournament, Wimbledon 2025, Gauff revealed what she will do after retiring from the sport. read more LONDON: To be clear, Coco Gauff didn't bring up the word 'star' during a recent interview with The Associated Press; the reporter did. So as Gauff began to answer a question about balancing her life as a professional athlete with her off-court interests, she caught herself repeating that term. 'I definitely didn't know how it would look like,' she began with a smile, 'before I got to be, I guess, a star — feels weird to call myself that — but I definitely did want to expand outside of tennis. Always. Since I was young.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD She still is young, by just about any measure, and she is a really good tennis player — Gauff owns the Grand Slam titles and No. 2 ranking to prove it as she heads into Wimbledon, which begins Monday — but the 21-year-old American is also more than that. Someone unafraid to express her opinions about societal issues. Someone who connects with fans via social media. Someone who is the highest-paid female athlete in any sport, topping $30 million last year, according to with less than a third of that from prize money and most via deals with companies such as UPS, New Balance, Rolex and Barilla. Someone who recently launched her own management firm. And someone who wants to succeed in the business world long after she no longer swings a racket on tour. 'It's definitely something that I want to start to step up for post-career. Kind of start building that process, which is why I wanted to do it early. Because I didn't want to feel like I was playing catch-up at the end of my career,' said Gauff, who will face Dayana Yastremska in the first round at the All England Club on Tuesday. 'On the business side of things, it doesn't come as natural as tennis feels. I'm still learning, and I have a lot to learn about," Gauff said. 'I've debated different things and what paths I wanted to take when it came to just stimulating my brain outside of the court, because I always knew that once I finished high school that I needed to put my brain into something else.' STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD In a campaign announced this week by UPS, which first partnered with Gauff in 2023 before she won that year's U.S. Open, she connects with business coach Emma Grede — known for working with Kim Kardashian on Skims, and with Khloe Kardashian on Good American — to offer mentoring to three small-business owners. 'Coco plays a key role in helping us connect with those younger Gen-Z business owners — emerging or younger entrepreneurs,' Betsy Wilson, VP of digital marketing and brand activation at UPS, said in a phone interview. 'Obviously, she's very relevant in social media and in culture, and working with Coco helps us really connect with that younger group.' While Grede helped the entrepreneurs, Gauff also got the opportunity to pick up tips. 'It's really cool to learn from someone like her,' Gauff said. 'Whenever I feel like I'm ready to make that leap, I can definitely reach out to her for advice and things like that. … This will help me right now and definitely in the long term.'

Hubert Hurkacz withdraws from Wimbledon, cites knee issue
Hubert Hurkacz of Poland cited a knee joint issue as his reason with withdrawing from Wimbledon 2025. File Photo by Gary I Rothstein/UPI | License Photo June 27 (UPI) -- No. 39 Hubert Hurkacz of Poland has withdrawn from Wimbledon 2025 due to knee irritation, he announced Friday. "Over the past few weeks, you've seen me on court through both the highs and the more challenging moments," Hurkacz said. "Unfortunately, today I have to share some difficult news. After careful consideration and consultation with my team, we have made the decision to withdraw from this year's Wimbledon. "During my preparations, my body reacted with irritation of the synovial membrane. This is a part of the ongoing recovery process following my recent surgery and requires rest and appropriate treatment." Hurkacz tore the meniscus in his right knee last year at Wimbledon. He also withdrew from the Libema Open earlier this month due to a back injury. "It is not easy to step away from such a prestigious tournament," Hurkacz said. "But I know this is the right decision for my long-term health and performance." Hurkacz was on track to face No. 142 Billy Harris of Great Britain in the first round of Wimbledon 2025. He was replaced by No. 585 Dusan Obradovic of Serbia in the men's singles draw.
