Phenomenal young tennis star Coco Gauff has officially entered the NFT space! The American tennis player launched her debut NFT collection on the Autograph platform last week. Notably, the set of three NFT sub-collections \u2013 Prepare for Impact, Change The World, <\/em>and Make A Racket \u2013\u00a0<\/em>are part of Autograph\u2019s\u00a0The Future Is\u2026<\/em>\u00a0series.<\/p>\n Autograph tapped UK-based illustrator Alice Bloomfield to design the three Coco Gauff NFTs in the \u201cThe Future Is\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/em>collection. In order to make sure that the designs captured Gauff\u2019s personality, Bloomfield interviewed the star athlete to learn about her interests.<\/p>\n As a result, Bloomfield crafted three colorful, superhero-inspired designs for the NFTs. In this way, this combines Gauff\u2019s position as a role model with her love of the Marvel universe of superheroes. In addition, Gauff personally hand-signed the Prepare For Impact\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Change The World\u00a0<\/em>NFTs.<\/p>\n The 350\u00a0Make A Racket\u00a0<\/em>NFTs dropped on June 6th. While the 150\u00a0Change The World\u00a0<\/em>and 50\u00a0Prepare For Impact\u00a0<\/em>NFTs dropped on June 7th. Significantly, anyone holding one of Coco Gauff\u2019s NFTs before June 14th will get access to a social media Q&A with Gauff. Not to mention the added utility for collectors who hold all three of Coco\u2019s NFTs. Those lucky holders will receive a signed print, and a gift card to watch her live in the future.<\/p>\n (Coco Gauff) Connecting with my fans is so important to me. Launching this NFT collection and entering the Web3 space gave me a new way to interact with and grow closer to them. Autograph has been a great partner in helping me make this collection a reality. They gave me the chance to express my creativity and find the best way to connect with my fans, both with the NFTs and the special add-ons we developed for anyone who purchases the collectibles. <\/em><\/p>\n This collection combines my passion for tennis and inspiring young female athletes with my love of the Marvel Universe and anime. My collection is designed to inspire, I can only hope that my tennis career is making an impact and changing the world of tennis. I always tell my fans to dream big and it is something I really live by. I think the names that I have chosen for my NFTs are a reflection of that and the goals I want to accomplish.<\/em><\/p>\n I love that Alice created these superhero-inspired designs and brought them to life with bright and fun colors \u2013 she really captured my personality in each design.<\/em><\/p>\n I really enjoyed this NFT launch and how I was able to engage with my fans. While I don\u2019t have firm plans for another collection, it\u2019s definitely something I\u2019d consider.<\/em><\/p>\n As previously mentioned, Autograph is Coco Gauff\u2019s partner on the NFT collection. For those who don\u2019t know, Autograph is an NFT platform. Specifically, Autograph focuses on the most iconic brands and legendary names in sports, entertainment, and culture.
