Along with the video of Gauff playing squash, she also added a caption that will definitely make tennis fans happy. She wrote, “New sport every week. Tennis is still the best racket sport tho.” 

Even though she has taken the initiative to try on different sports every week, she has also drawn conclusions regarding where tennis stands her. As a tennis player, she has placed tennis as the best racket ball sport she has ever played. However, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that she can nail any racket ball sport that she tries her hands on.

When Coco Gauff shared about her golf prowess

Earlier this year, to have some relaxed downtime, she tried her hands at golf. However, things didn’t go as well in the golf arena as expected. She took to her Instagram account to share a video of herself playing golf. Not only that, she also highlighted her poor golf skills and wrote, “Gauff but can’t golf.” 

For the third-ranked tennis player, attempting to hit the ball was the hard part, as in the video, rather than hitting the ball, she simply raised her stick in the air, leaving the ball in the same position. However, for the third-ranked tennis player, nothing can beat her love for tennis.
