“I’ll be honest. I didn’t grow up watching a lot of her tapes just because she was a couple generations past me. But I’ve gotten to know her off the court a little bit more,” Coco Gauff said in her post-match press conference.”She’s a very, very kind person.
She texts me sometimes. I always try to text her, especially with the recent news of her illness and everything,” she added.”As far as like her impact on tennis, she’s definitely, if you talk about tennis, she’s one of the first names people think of. Just timeless. I always get videos of her on court style looks on my page. I feel like I know her more for that,” she said.
