Coco Gauff Sets Herself Apart From Swiatek and Sabalenka at Australian Open With Ravishing Move

Coco Gauff continues to shine, both on and off the court! Known for her electrifying presence in the world of tennis, the young American sensation isn’t just dominating with her racket—she’s also making waves with her bold fashion choices. As the Australian Open approaches, Gauff has taken her off-court game to the next level with a jaw-dropping fashion statement that’s turning heads across the tennis world. Her latest look isn’t just stylish—it’s a declaration, putting her ahead of stars like Aryna Sabalenka and Iga Swiatek when it comes to serving up fashion-forward vibes.

In a video that is making rounds on social media, Gauff can be seen revealing her latest New Balance outfit for the Australian Open. She can be seen in a white bodysuit-like top and olive skirt, as she revealed that fans can see her wearing the same in Melbourne. Earlier, New Balance also shared glimpses of their stunning new Coco CG2 ‘White/Marsh Green,’ which received widespread appreciation. 

Sharing her excitement over the kit, Gauff said, “So this is my fit for AO. I wanted my skirt to be asymmetric, and I wanted it to look like cargo pants. So this is a fake pocket, this is a fake button, and this [her top] is actually a bodysuit.” Continuing further, she also revealed her inspiration for the attire. “And the back is backless cause I wanted to show my skin, and then the cutouts are inspired by, I’m a huge Marvel fans, so superheroes, and all the female superheroes have cool cutouts, so I wanted it have a cool cutout,” Gauff said in the video. 

Interestingly, this comes at a time when Iga Swiatek and Aryna Sabalenka’s probable outfits from ON and Nike have seemingly disappointed their fans. The Polish tennis sensation was spotted at Grace Park Hawthorn Club in Australia during a promotional event. She wore creamsicle-inspired apparel with the Roger Federer-backed brand ON’s logo etched on it. The attire consisted of a unique blend of orange, pink, and white colors, and while the brand has not made any confirmation yet, many are anticipating that Swiatek might be seen wearing the same attire at the Australian Open. 

Aryna Sabalenka, on the other hand, drew a similar reaction over her probable Australian Open outfit designed by Nike. Her attire is a Dri-FIT tennis attire comprising a pastel yellow outfit overlaid with a bright yellow tank top, as per the claims being made on social media. Both, Nike and ON faced severe backlash earlier with fans claiming that the outfit designed by them is not fit for top players of the WTA tour. And now, Gauff, with her carefully designed kit, has clearly taken an edge over her opponents on the fashion front. 

Remember, Coco Gauff’s relationship with New Balance started when she was just 14 years old. She has shared a very cordial relationship with the brand and has in fact termed it as her family in the past.  Meanwhile, the 20-year-old is entering the Australian Open with not just a dazzling outfit but also immense confidence, which she is drawing from her remarkable performances that have come lately.

Coco Gauff beaming with confidence ahead of the Australian Open

Coco Gauff is fresh off a remarkable campaign at the United Cup, where she led her team to victory. Besides, she entered the 2025 season after dominating the courts at the close of last year, winning the titles in the China Open and the WTA Finals in Riyadh. These victories are clearly giving her confidence for her first Grand Slam of the year and Gauff could not be more excited. 

After the United Cup, the American tennis sensation said, “Obviously this start of the season gives me a lot of confidence. I feel like when I’m playing confident tennis, I’m playing great tennis. I definitely feel confident going into AO.” In yet another interview, she made her aspirations clear and said, “I think for all of us the main focus is the Australian Open and doing well there.” But these aspirations are also coming with an blend of maturity, as Gauff is clear with her vision for the ongoing season. 

“I’ve never been a person who thinks about the ranking. I only want the Slams, but yes, I know I have this possibility. But honestly, I don’t think about the number 1 of the WTA ranking,” she said ahead of her season. Now, it will be interesting to see if Gauff’s Australian Open outfit will give her more confidence and comfort, and allow her to take an edge over her counterparts at the tournament.
