Coco Gauff ‘Fooled’ as Mischievous Tweet Featuring ‘Fashion Queen’ Serena Williams Ahead of the Australian Open Bamboozles Her

Coco Gauff idolizes Serena Williams. It is no secret, and the young American never hides it either. She has praised the Queen of the Court often, when talking about her own game. There are also many instances where she doesn’t talk about Williams, and fan accounts quote her saying something in particular. As one such post went viral, even the 19-year-old was confused about what she had said and what the social media page wrote.

While Gauff looks up to Williams, the WTA legend herself approves of the young American sensation. Gauff created history after winning the US Open, and the 23-time grand slam champion praised her to carry on her legacy.

Coco Gauff skeptical over quote praising Serena Williams

The 19-year-old star wants to reach as high as Serena Williams did in her career and aims to surpass her. Knowing her love for the 23-time grand slam champion, a spoof account “quoted” Gauff talking about Williams’ iconic yellow outfit, consisting of a yellow crop top and a matching skirt. It also mentioned her wanting to channel her “inner Serena”, further calling her “an inspiration on and off the court”.

Reading the post, Gauff, like many others on ‘X’, believed she had said a quote for a moment. “You had me fooled😭 I even sent the tweet to my agent and I was like “I don’t remember ever saying this?” nothing wrong with it ya’ll know I love Serena it wasn’t inspired by her kit. she is a fashion queen tho!! I just literally thought I was going crazy for two mins hahaha😂”.
