Having impressed the tennis world with her moves on the court, teenage sensation Coco Gauff decided to show her moves off the court with her friends and family in a recent video.
The American sensation is enjoying her offseason after a monumental 2023. Recovering from a shock first-round exit against fellow American Sofia Kenin at Wimbledon, Gauff shifted gears spectacularly during the North American hardcourt swing.
In August, she won her first WTA 500 singles title at the Washington Open, defeating Maria Sakkari in the final. Her first WTA 1000 singles title came at the Cincinnati Open, where she defeated Iga Swiatek and Karolina Muchova en route to the trophy.
Gauff continued her good form into the US Open, defeating Aryna Sabalenka in the final after coming from a set down. Gauff also qualified for the WTA Finals, where she lost in the semifinals to her doubles partner Jessica Pegula. Gauff is currently World No. 3 in both singles and doubles.
The 19-year-old has been spending her offseason with her friends and family. Recently, the American shared a story on her Instagram where she can be seen dancing to the tune of J. Dash's WOP along with her friends and family.
When 15-year-old Coco Gauff defeated Venus Williams at Wimbledon
A 15-year-old Coco Gauff had learned just five days before the start of Wimbledon that her qualifying wildcard had been accepted. She then defeated three opponents to reach the main draw.
After the last of those matches, a group of journalists asked her whom she would like to face in her first Grand Slam main draw match.
“I’m just happy to be there,” she said. “I would love to share the court with Serena. I remember at Miami Open I was more disappointed that I lost the round before I got to play Venus than that I lost in general, because I really wanted to play her. But, if I play either one of them, that would be a dream come true."
Gauff's dream came true as she was drawn against Venus Williams in the first round. The 15-year-old scored an upset over the five-time Wimbledon champion in straight sets, winning 6-4, 6-4.
“I'm super shocked, but I'm just super blessed that Wimbledon decided to give me the wild card, I mean, I never expected this to happen," Gauff said in her post-match press conference.
