Tennis star Coco Gauff has disclosed that she desires to win more grand slams and not be ranked as number one.. In a chat with Roland Garros, Gauff stated that Grand Slam wins ultimately come first over the goal of being American No.1.. “Honestly, it never meant anything to me. I just feel like all the people say it online. And for me, it really means absolutely nothing. I don’t like to look at it. I don’t care. The reason it means nothing is because of the goal, obviously, is to be number one, period,” she said in an interview with Roland Garros..

My dad always said, ‘the number, the ranking will come with the Slams’. So I think for me, I’m looking more at winning Slams. And if I win a Slam this year and don’t become number one, I will be satisfied. I’ll be more satisfied than if I became number one and didn’t win a Slam.”. As she moves onto Miami, clay will soon be around the corner and she said that she believes she can be a Roland Garros champion one day.. “I do think I am a good player on clay. And I know that if I want to win that tournament, I have to probably beat her (Iga Swiatek), most likely.”
