Suni Lee reacted to tennis player Coco Gauff's efforts as the US defeated Canada 2-1 at the 2025 United Cup. Lee, who ended her 2024 gymnastics season with the Paris Olympics, often extends her appreciation for fellow US athletes.

Lee's success at the Olympics was followed by several off-mat appearances at fashion and award shows. She was named in the Glamour Women of the Year list alongside Serena Williams and Allyson Felix. She has also supported her fellow athletes during her offseason.

This week, the six-time Olympic medalist expressed her appreciation for tennis icon Coco Gauff who helped the US team to victory over Canada. Following her match, Gauff posted a seried of pictures from her United Cup stint, captioned:

"we are so back. new szn, better me."

Suni Lee showed her support with a two-word comment, reading:

Gauff recorded an impressive 2024 season, clinching a WTA 1000 win at the Italian Open. She followed it up with the French Open doubles and the China Open title wins.

Tokyo Olympic all-around gold medalist, Lee, missed a major part of the 2023 season due to a kidney issue. She made a victorious comeback in 2024, winning podiums at the Hydration Core Classic, and National Championships, before clinching the all-around bronze, team gold, and uneven bars bronze at the 2024 Paris Games.

20-year-old Coco Gauff ended her 2024 season after becoming the youngest WTA Finals champion since Maria Sharapova in 2004. Her achievement made her the youngest US player after the legendary Serena Williams in 2014.

Having clinched her first year-end championship win, Gauff received praise from gymnast Suni Lee, who tagged Gauff and wrote

"the greatest to do it"

Early in December this year, the Grand Slam champion shared pictures in which she sported an all-denim look, paired with subtle makeup and minimal accessories. It caught Suni Lee's attention, who took to the comment section to write:

"Prettiest"

This came two months after the two-time Olympic gold medalist expressed her desire to explore the fashion world, saying (via InsideGym),

"I think fashion can be a really good way to express yourself.”

Lee recently shifted to New York and has since been campaigning for brands like Cotton x LoveShackFancy and L’Oréal.
