News about Coco Gauff

Hollywood turned to legendary tennis coach Brad Gilbert to help Zendaya and her Challengers co-stars hone their skills on the court. Gilbert is one of the most celebrated minds in tennis, having worked with the likes of Andre Agassi, Andy Roddick, Andy Murray, and now Coco Gauff.  The movie, which hit America's big screens this week, follows a tennis champion (Mike Faist) as he attempts a comeback with the help of his wife, a prodigy-turned-coach (Zendaya). But one of the opponents standing in his way is his former best friend and his wife's former lover (Josh O'Connor).

On Thursday, an Instagram fan page called 'Cocogauff.fans' reposted a picture shared by X user @Isaac_Williams2. The broadcast screenshot was from the first round of the 2012 US Open as Williams faced Bethanie Mattek-Sands. In the back, a young Gauff wore a white shirt and dark blue hat as she cheered on. The 20-year-old reposted the story, amazed that someone found the clip. 'Wowwwwwww no way someone found this,' Gauff wrote. 'That is me watching Venus at the US Open. [I] didn't even know the TV caught me in the stands. Whoever found this, shoutout to you omg.

Coco Gauff was defeated in the semi-finals of Indian Wells on Friday after a rain-delayed, three-set match against Maria Sakkari. Sakkari defeated the Americans 4-16, 6-7, 6-2 after losing three match points in the second round to qualify for the BNP Paribas Open final. She will now compete in the Iga Swiatek final on Sunday after defeating Marta Kostyuk 6-1 to climb to 19-2 this year, with her match wins leading the WTA Tour.

Gauff, who turned 20 on Wednesday, needed 94 minutes to beat her 25-year-old compatriot in their first professional meeting. Gauff's appearance at Indian Wells increased from her previous best showings. In her first two appearances at the WTA 1000 tournament, the American sensation advanced to the third round of the tournament last year and lost in the quarterfinals to eventual runner-up Aryna Sabalenka. In addition, Gauff's quarterfinal victory gave her her her third victory after trailing in the tournament. Gauff defeated Clara Burel and Lucia Bronzetti in her previous matches, overcoming deficits on her way to triumph.

Coco Gauff, a young woman who has only been in elite-level tennis for 20 years, has already hit the kind of dizzying heights that most seasoned pros can only imagine. Gauff, who turned 20 on Wednesday, won her final match as a teenager when she defeated Italy's Lucia Bronzetti to advance to the quarterfinals of the Indian Wells Masters earlier this week. She's saying goodbye to her youth as both a Grand Slam champion and a household name in American sports. The US Open's triumph last year has propelled her into the public eye, with Time Magazine Women of the Year awards, Vogue Magazine cover shoots, and a slew of corporate deals following.

Coco Gauff is just getting off, and she's getting off. The reigning US Open champion came back from a 5-2 third-set deficit to defeat Clara Burel 2-6, 7-6 (4) on Saturday at the BNP Paribas Open in Indian Wells, California, less than a week before her 20th birthday. When she was asked about her as a child, Gauff gave an alert to her rivals. So, I'm hoping I can win a couple more in my 20s and yeah,' Gauff said in her post-match interview. Age is just a number.' I'm going to be out here for at least ten years, so I hope to see you guys again soon. "It wasn't the best tennis, but it wasn't about how you turn up on your good days; it's about how you turn up on your bad ones; and I'm happy with how I turned up today.' Gauff said:

In September, the 19-year-old clinched her maiden major victory at the US Open when she defeated Aryna Sabalenka in front of the Arthur Ashe crowd. The American is following in the footsteps of tennis legend Serena Williams and gracing the front page of Vogue six months after. Gauff was photographed by well-known photographer Annie Leibovitz, who has shot everyone, even late Queen Elizabeth II. Gauff, who dazzles in a gold Michael Kors gown worth $5,690 as she smiles for the camera, spoke with the editor to address her Grand Slam triumph, pressure, and Williams sisters.

The prestigious list was curated by Times editors, who said they were drawn to trailblazers campaigning for a'more equitable future.' The 12 women on our 2024 list are 'key figures from around the world who have devoted themselves to helping others as they rise,' the editors noted. Taraji P. Henson, Andra Day, and Chanel CEO Leena Nair are among the 19-year-old tennis legends honoured.

Kelce's nomination was referred to as "f***ing nonsense" on an episode of the New Heights podcast with his brother Jason. The Kansas City Chiefs star then remarked how he did not want to be considered for the award. 'What did I do to get Athlete of the Year? I did SNL,' he said on the show. 'How am I on this [list]?' Nonetheless, Kelce was given the award despite a lengthy list of nominees. Kelce was nominated alongside Coco Gauff, Giannis Antetokounmpo, LeBron James, Lionel Messi, Sabrina Ionescu, Simone Biles, and Stephen Curry.

Last year, she wore an eye-catching pink gown as she celebrated her first grand slam title. After beating Zheng Qinwen in straight sets this year, the 25-year-old opted for an all-white ensemble (inset) and shared a touching moment with a ballkid.

Fans of a tennis match at the Australian Open have captivated them. Robert Irwin has wowed them with his vivacious reactions. On Thursday night, the 20-year-old conservationist, accompanied by his sister Rorie Buckey, was spotted in the shops. The young couple spent their evening together as they watched the Women's Semi-Finals match between Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka.

Though the headgear mocked her first name, it did include a photograph of a coconut chipped in half. In a three-hour match, Gauff defeated Kostyuk 7-6 (6), 6-7 (3), 6-2. She clapped back at Heorhii on Instagram just a few weeks later. 'Shakey Shake,' she wrote with a smile and emoji alongside a clip from her win.

After despatching Coco Gauff 7-6 (7-2), 6-4 on Thursday evening, Aryna Sabalenka is just one match away from securing back-to-back Australian Open victories. Despite an early slump that saw her squander a 5-2 lead in the first set, the Belarusian world No. 2 only needed two sets to upset the 19-year-old US Open champion. Sabalenka started with a 4-4 lead in the second set, putting a crucial break of Gauff's tenure in the semi-finals up for grabs.

In a repeat of last year's US Open final, Coco Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka meet in the Australian Open semi-final. Despite beating Sabalenka in three sets and securing her first major at Flushing Meadows in September 2023, Gauff is a 7/4 stranger in Melbourne's clash on Monday. According to Sky Bet, Sabalenka, the second seed, is a strong favorite at 4/9.

One minute the 28-year-old actor (pictured left, right, with Coco Gauff, right, and girlfriend Costeen Hatzi inset) was on the verge of ending the sport that had made him famous. It was all 'nonsense' next time, he'd tell his followers it was all nonsense.

Tennis supporters applauded Heorhiy's tacky message during his wife's quarter-final loss to Gauff on Tuesday. After making it to the semifinals with a marathon three-set win, the American fourth seed took the high road on social media.

Coco Gauff hasn't gotten around to reading her coach Brad Gilbert's Best-selling book, Winning Ugly. But the 19-year-old American's win in the Australian Open semi-finals was just as good as an advertisement for the book on mental warfare in tennis. On Rod Laver Arena, neither Gauff nor her adversary Marta Kostyuk turned in an impressive three hours together, making this more of a psychodrama. They made an unfortunate 107 unforced errors between them, 56 of which came from Gauff, almost as many as the No. 4 seed had managed in her previous four rounds combined at Melbourne Park.

An inexplicable decision tournament organisers pushed the start times of matches back, notably with Coco Gauff's victory of the marathon (pictured, left) in the final clash of the day between Jannik Sinner (right) and Andrey Rublev finish at 1.21 a.m.

After a long quarter-final match between Novak Djokovic and Taylor Fritz, the night session was postponed by more than two hours, the Australian Open organisers were chastised for their decision. Djokovic dominated his American rival 7-6 6-3 6-3 after three hours and 45 minutes, with the match beginning later than expected due to Coco Gauff's lengthy match against Marta Kostyuk in the first match of the day on Rod Laver Arena.

After defeating Barbora Krejcikova 6-2, 6-3 in just 71 minutes on Rod Laver Arena, the reigning women's singles champion advanced to the semi finals on Tuesday. The Belarusian has stayed on top of her Melbourne game with no of her rivals to land a blow on her so far.

Margaret Court has ended her four-year participation at the Australian Open, just days after being branded as a'second class human being' and a 'Jesus freak' for her outspoken opposition to gay marriage and homosexuality. The controversial Australian tennis legend, 81, and her partner Barry were seen courtside in Melbourne Park, Australia, watching the women's quarter final three sets thriller between American Coco Gauff and Ukrainian opponent Marta Kostyuk. It's the first time Court has attended the tournament since 2020, when the 50th anniversary of her 1970 title win was honoured. She sat next to Aussie tennis legend Rod Laver and his partner Susan Johnson, dressed in a pale pink top.

Coco Gauff recovered from a nightmarish start and a mid-match stumble against Marta Kostyuk to advance to the Australian Open semifinals for the first time by beating the Ukrainian 7-6 (8-9), 6-2) for a match versus Aryna Sabalenka. In the first set of the quarters and starring a must-win second, the American found herself down 5-1 but gained five of the next six games to claw herself back and regained power of the game, which she ultimately won after three hours and eight minutes. I'm [I'm] proud of the fight I showed today,' Gauff said on the court after the match. 'Marta is a tough opponent, and every time we play it's a long game.' And, yeah, I really fought and left it all on the court today.'
