The 18-year-old, who turned pro in 2018, made the world take note of her when she stunned her idol Venus Williams in straight sets at the 2019 Wimbledon Championships. At the ongoing 2023 Australian Open, Gauff has made her way into the fourth round without dropping a set. Apart from tennis, the youngster is known for keeping up with social media trends as she continues to share music-related videos.
Gauff posted a clip on TikTok some time ago, in which she can be seen dancing with her parents — Corey and Candi Gauff. She made another video recently, saying that when she informed her parents that the video was surprisingly well received on the internet and had gone viral, her father thought that they would receive money from the video hosting service.
Gauff then went on to share a screenshot of their chat, which read:
The American star was slightly embarrassed, but her father’s innocent response made her laugh uncontrollably.
Coco Gauff credits ASB Classic victory for helping her prepare for Australian Open 2023
Displaying an extremely high level of tennis, Coco Gauff has won her first eight matches of the year, all of them being straight-set affairs. She will face Latvia’s Jelena Ostapenko for a spot in the quarterfinals on Sunday. The World No. 7 clinched her third title on the tour earlier this month in Auckland when she dominated the ASB Classic.
In a press conference after her third-round victory in Melbourne, the American stated that despite unfavorable weather, the WTA 250 tournament prepared her for the first Grand Slam of the year and that she would like to play there again.
