Coco Gauff’s comment

A few weeks ago during the Australian Open campaign, Shelton opened up about his bond with Gauff in the press conference, stating:

"I'm friends with most of them. Definitely close friends with Coco and Chris Eubanks. We've been watching pretty closely to see if Banks will get in as a lucky loser. He was third, and one guy pulled out."

Ben Shelton once lauded Coco Gauff during ! a press conference at the 2024 US Open. He said that half of his compatriot's aura was in her name, and it is one to be remembered.

"First of all, her name is Coco. It’s something that sticks in your mind, right? Shout out to Corey and Candi Gauff because I think the name is half of it (smiling). It’s a name you remember. She’s charasmatic. Such a great athlete.," said Ben Shelton.

He added:

"Has so many qualities out there that resemble a male player. The way she moves and the way she can defend. You see something from her that’s special and different. She plays with a lot of passion. You can tell she cares out there. She’s into it every time she’s out on court. I think that’s something people love."

Recently, on March 3, Coco Gauff's father, Corey Gauff, jokingly chose his daughter as Ben Shelton's QB comp for his football session in Indian Wells.
