Coco Gauff's intense training session playing Tic Tac Toe
Coco Gauff’s participation in an intense training session, where she played a distinctive version of Tic Tac Toe, further solidifies her position as a tennis superstar.
The game, which on paper only requires concentration and mental strategy, becomes more challenging when Coco Gauff adds speed, sunshine, and the intensity of physical effort.
Coco Gauff and her training have yielded results
Coco Gauff, born in Florida, is the first American teenager to win the US Open tournament since Serena Williams was crowned in 1999. The rising tennis legend achieved this at the age of 19, a tournament she used to attend as a child with her parents to watch her heroines, Serena and Venus Williams.
“Thanks to everyone who didn’t believe in me. About a month ago, I won a title on tour, and people said that’s where I’d stay. Two weeks ago, I won another title, and people said that would be the biggest victory I’d achieve. So, three weeks later, I’m here with this trophy.”
Coco Gauff, the new star of the tennis world
Coco Gauff has loaned a set of her iconic New Balance shoes and outfit from her remarkable victory at the US Open last month to the International Tennis Hall of Fame. The gear is now on display for fans to view in the museum.
“I’m incredibly honored and excited for my kit to be displayed at the International Tennis Hall of Fame,”
Coco Gauff’s Parents, Candi and Corey Gauff
Tennis star Coco Gauff wouldn’t be where she is today without the unconditional love and support from her parents, Candi Gauff and Corey Gauff.
Coco’s career has been a whirlwind ever since she defeated her role model, Venus Williams, in the first round of Wimbledon in 2019.
The one constant through it all? Her family. Most notably her parents, who gave up everything so she could chase her tennis dreams.
“My dad told me I could do this when I was eight, and obviously, you never believe it,” Coco told reporters following her 2019 Wimbledon upset.”
