Coco Gauff is named a player-owner for the Florida Flamingos in the relaunch of World Team Tennis. The two-time Grand Slam singles champion will represent the franchise while also taking an ownership role as the league returns with team-based matches.
Reports say Gauff is scheduled to play for the Flamingos in the league’s season in December, including home matches on Dec. 14 and 15. One outlet specifies the team’s matches at Racquet Club in Florida and notes the Flamingos will play at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, the home venue of the NHL’s Florida Panthers.
Across coverage, the main emphasis is on Gauff’s dual role and the high-profile nature of the relaunch. Some sources highlight her personal connection to Florida, where she grew up, while others focus on the star-studded lineup and matchups—such as a potential matchup against Jessica Pegula—during the Florida franchise’s early games.
