American tennis stars Coco Gauff and Alycia Parks surprised fans by revealing their similar religious faith

After the historic US Open 2023 win, Gauff made a revelation, which pretty much explained her religious attitude. Gauff said- “I want to thank my Father, God for this. After losing 1st round Wimbledon it was a tough situation. A lot of prayer, a lot of support from my church family. So thank you to him & those who support me,” Gauff’s mention of her church family and God’s contribution to her success assured fans that she is a devoted Catholic.

On the other hand, Alycia Parks known to keep her private life totally off-ground from the media expressed her take on faith and God multiple times. She once said- “Usually when stuff starts to get rocky for me, I know something good is about to happen because that’s just God testing me,”

Referring to her WTA 125 win, Parks further added– “Maybe that’s why God didn’t allow me to win Valencia because he probably said, OK, Alycia, you have ITF titles. I know how bad you want this, but next week you’re going to win your first WTA 125 title, something that you’ve never done before. You won ITF titles, and that’s cute, but a WTA title, that’s a step higher.”

The presence of God’s name and faith in God’s contribution in both the tennis stars’ statements express their devoted religious values.

Gauff has been vocal about her Christian ideologies. This is also because her family has created a faith-based support system for her. In fact, Corey Gauff, the father of the world’s number-three WTA player always joins his daughter to the prayer session before any match. Previously after Gauff’s US Open 2023 win, The New York Times reported saying- “Corey and his daughter pray together before every match — not for a win but for the continued good health of both players,” In fact, one of the Coco Gauff’s family member was seen thanking the God after the young tennis star bagged her victory.
