Even though just about every one has heard about Cori "Coco" Gauff's inspiring Wimbledon run, in which she battled her way through qualifying rounds and into the last 16, the story hasn't gotten old. Ahead of the US Open, where she's taken a wild card, the world can't seem to get enough of the 15-year-old.

It has been a busy week for the rising star: she is featured in both the *Teen Vogue magazin*eand a New Balance US Open campaign. The American opens up about her Wimbledon experience, and Gauff's parents weigh in about her success and hard work in the Teen Vogue feature.

“Tennis in the U.S. isn't, like, that big of a sport, and now I have people, like, stopping me on the street and everything. I guess it's a plus," she told Teen Vogue's Jewel Wicker.

Since her Grand Slam run, Gauff rallied her way through two qualifying rounds before falling in Washington D.C.'s first round. The early loss didn't get Gauff down for long as she captured her first WTA doubles title with partner Caty McNally later in the week.

In Gauff's US Open New Balance promotion she states, "You can call me young,  you can call me the new kid, but when or lose, call me Coco." Beaming with confidence and maturity, it's hard to believe the Florida native is just 15.

Although the world No. 141 is now on everyone's radar and Instagram feed, she's been successful before her newfound fame. She's a former No. 1 junior, the 2018 junior French Open champion and the 2018 junior Doubles US Open champion.

It was just a matter of time before Gauff made her mark on the WTA tour. That time has come and the ball is in her court. Gauff will attempt to shock the world again in New York next week. The last major of the year begins on Monday.
