Coco Gauff 'looks a mess' after 30 hours of travel from China back home to US, finally gets hands on her limited edition Wheaties cereal

Coco Gauff recently shared a clip of herself trying the limited edition Wheaties cereal. The American had just returned home after a 30-hour journey from China, where she competed in the Wuhan Open.

Gauff impressed at the WTA 1000 event, defeating Viktoriya Tomova, Marta Kostyuk, and Magda Linette to reach the semifinals. However, her run ended with a 1-6, 6-4, 6-4 loss to eventual champion, Aryna Sabalenka.

Following her exit from the Wuhan Open, the 20-year-old expressed her eagerness to return home after being away for almost a month.

"I think I'm going to go home just because it's been long. I think I've been here, like, four weeks. Two weeks is kind of when we have to leave for Riyadh," she said in her press conference.

After an impressive run in Wuhan, Gauff returned home and finally got her hands on the limited edition Wheaties cereal featuring her on the box. The cereal brand has celebrated remarkable athletes for over 100 years, and Gauff earned her spot in August.

The World No. 3 shared a clip on her Instagram story as she tried out the cereal, writing:

"Waiting all month to get home to finally try it hahaha. Also I look a mess post 30 hours of travel so not too much."

Gauff later complimented the cereal's taste in the video and expressed her appreciation to the brand for featuring her on the box.

"Sorry did the first initial taste test on Tik tok, but I am very satisfied. I used vanilla almond milk and this is really cool that I get to eat cereal with my face on it. It's actually something as iconic as Wheaties. So get yours before they are out and thanks again Wheaties. Now, this is the real breakfast of champions," she said.
