Coco Gauff will be a player-owner for the Florida franchise in the new season of World Team Tennis
Gauff will join Tommy Paul and Learner Tien on the Florida roster as the league returns with three clubs and new match formats.
On Thursday, September 24, 2026, World Team Tennis announced that Coco Gauff has joined the Florida Flamingos Racquet Club as a player-owner for the league's December relaunch.
Originally founded in 1974 by Hall of Famer Billie Jean King, the league pioneered mixed-gender team competition and returns this year under new management with a modernized format.
Gauff will compete alongside Tommy Paul, Learner Tien, Brandon Nakashima, Iva Jovic, and Eva Lys. "I'm looking forward to playing at home in front of my family and friends in South Florida," Gauff said.
The Flamingos will host home matches at Amerant Bank Arena in Sunrise, featuring four singles sets and a mixed doubles Supertiebreaker where men and women contribute equally to outcomes.
Stars including Jessica Pegula, Taylor Fritz, and Frances Tiafoe join the 2026 revival, which aims to cultivate community impact similar to Gauff's work with the Coco Gauff Foundation and Pompey Park.
