During the press conference at the Italian Open 2024, Coco Gauff opened up about visiting escape rooms with Christopher Eubanks. She further spoke about Eubanks' girlfriend, Anna, joining their team to visit the escape rooms and said that she brought balance to the group as Gauff was tired of going with the boys alone.

"Chris and I did one with a lot of my family, like my aunt, my brothers, my uncle. We did one, like 10 of us. It started I think with that, with Chris. That's what I think," said Coco Gauff.

Talking about Eubanks' girlfriend, she said:

"I'm usually the one that's coordinating everybody's thing. I have to schedule two or three weeks in advance. I'm really happy that Chris got a girlfriend 'cause I got tired being around with guys. Being with Anna is a nice balance with the two. I don't think I would do it with just the three of us. That would be rough. Too much testosterone."

Christopher Eubanks was the one who informed Coco Gauff that she would be the flag bearer for Team USA at the opening ceremony of the Paris Olympics. The 20-year-old, however, had a forgetful outing, as she lost in the third round of the singles tournament while suffering a second-round exit in the women's doubles competition.
