The Eiffel Tower has long been a popular landmark in Paris. Tourists flock to admire its iconic architecture and take in 360-degree city views from up top. Some visitors even lean on the setting to pop the question.

For Coco Gauff, the renowned structure was used as a stunning backdrop for her graduation photos. The 18-year-old shared a set of stunning images on social media after completing her four years of high school at Florida Virtual Flex (FLVS).

Gauff shares a strong connection with the French capital, having won the girls’ singles title at Roland Garros in 2018 over tour bestie Caty McNally. Last year, the Delray Beach, Fla. resident reached the quarterfinals of the French Open, her deepest run in singles to date at a major.

At this year’s event, Gauff is seeded No. 18. She opens her campaign Sunday against qualifier Rebecca Marino.
