She started playing tennis at the age of six, and after her early success in winning the “Little Mo” eight-and-under nationals at the age of eight, she decided to pursue tennis as a career.

She qualified for the Wimbledon Championships in 2019 at the youngest age possible. 2019 saw her team up with Caty McNally to win her first-ever WTA title.

Gauff was once the top junior in the world. At 12, she participated in the renowned Les Petits As 14-and-under competition in 2016 and advanced to the semifinals. At 13, Gauff started competing on the ITF Junior Circuit, going straight to the Grade A and Grade 1 events, which are the highest tier. In her third career event, the Grade 1 Prince George’s County Junior Tennis Championships in Maryland, she came in second to Jamie Fourlis. Gauff’s junior Grand Slam debut came at the 2017 US Open, where she lost to Amanda Anisimova in the finals. In both tournaments, she advanced to the final without dropping a set.
