Coco Gauff Follows Billie Jean King’s footsteps
Coco Gauff’s Wheaties box comes after the tennis legend Billie Jean King was honored by the brand just a few months earlier. King, a number one tennis player and 39-time major champion has long been celebrated for her impact on and off the court. Gauff’s inclusion on the iconic cereal box marks a significant moment, as she continues to rise as a prominent figure in tennis and an inspiration for the next generation.
Billie Jean King was also a member of the US team in seven Federation Cups and nine Wightman Cups and a captain in the Federation Cup for three years.
