Coco Gauff Makes Tennis Channel Debut in First-Ever Documentary

Coco Gauff has made her on-screen documentary debut with Tennis Channel, delivering a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the life of the 2026 US Open champion. The feature, titled Coco Gauff: Serve and Stay, premiered exclusively on the network, blending rare footage with candid interviews about her career-defining moments and the pressure of elite tennis.**

What’s in the documentary?

The hour-long special traces Gauff’s journey from her 2019 Wimbledon junior triumph to her 2026 US Open victory, where she defeated Iga Świątek in three sets (6-4, 7-6^(3), 6-3). Footage includes her 2023 Australian Open semifinal loss to Aryna Sabalenka, a turning point that reshaped her mental approach. Interviews with her coach, Patrick Mouratoglou, reveal how she adjusted her serve-and-volley game after that setback.

Why this matters for Gauff’s brand

Beyond tennis, the documentary positions Gauff as a cultural figure beyond the court. Producers emphasized her off-court activism-including her 2024 partnership with L’Oréal Paris-and her role as a voice for young athletes. Tennis Channel’s CEO, Mark Parker, called it “a rare look at how champions are made, not just the results.” The timing aligns with her 2026 ranking surge to No. 3 in the WTA, following her US Open win.

What comes next for Gauff?

With the 2026 French Open looming, the documentary teases her preparations for clay-court challenges. A clip shows her training with Simona Halep’s former coach, Nicolas Escudé, ahead of Roland Garros. Fans can expect more content on Tennis Channel’s social platforms, including a Q&A series starting July 20, 2026.

How to watch

Coco Gauff: Serve and Stay is available now on Tennis Channel’s app and website, with a free preview on YouTube. The full documentary will air during prime time on July 18, 2026, coinciding with her 20th birthday. Gauff’s next match, a WTA 1000 Cincinnati warm-up, begins August 12, 2026-where she’ll face Elina Svitolina in a potential rematch of their 2025 US Open clash.
