Coco Gauff is growing to be a major force in tennis from such a tender age. She clinched the Citi Open title and reached the quarter-finals of the Canadian Open ahead of her US Open run. Despite being a teenager, the American sensation maintains a great work-life balance. She is active on Tiktok, explores places, hangs out with friends, donates for charity, and condemns any issue that ought not to be done.

The 19-year-old idolizes the Williams sisters like no other. To her astonishment, Gauff had the honor of winning against Venus Williams in her first Grand Slam match. Recently, the French Open runner-up expressed her admiration for Serena Williams by picking her for a hypothetical hockey role.

Coco Gauff picks her idol Serena Williams to play the most powerful role

After the 23 Grand Slams winner announced her retirement, the world was devastated, and Gauff was no exception. But the teenager had a lot of takeaways from her. She constantly upped her game by watching the Williams sisters play. The rising star also stated that the former world number one, Serena is the reason she plays tennis.

Momma Smash had won 8 Grand Slam titles and ended up as a US Open runner-up in 2011, the year the 7th seed first held a tennis racket. But the age gap was never a barrier. So when WTA asked Gauff to pick her ideal Hockey team as a part of a short clip, the teen picked the 41-year-old to play the Center.

The young American said, “Okay, well, I guess the best one for this would be Serena Williams. You know her serve is probably the best serve ever, so I’ll pick her for that.” 

Gauff, who once acted as Serena’s replacement, picked her perfect team and even included herself in it.

When Gauff met first met Serena, the G.O.A.T was not even aware of her

Ahead of her US Open run in 2022, Gauff revealed her first meeting with the revolutionary champion. She said, “I first met Serena, she definitely doesn’t know this, I think I was 9 or 10 years old. They needed a stunt double to play a young version of her just the face down.” The teen added that it was her first paycheck, and she received it only because ReRe did a commercial.
