Is there something Coco Gauff loves as much as tennis? While some might doubt it, her followers would say otherwise. Upon returning from Wuhan, the WTA star indulged in her favorite breakfast—a treat as close to her heart as her passion for the sport, a bowl full of cereals from Wheaties! Quite intriguing, right?  Recently when one of her supporters showcased their love for the brand, delighted Gauff shared the post, highlighting her genuine admiration and appreciation for the product.

In August,  Gauff received a special honor from Wheaties, the iconic cereal brand, which featured the WTA star on a limited-edition box. Reflecting on this decision, Wheaties Senior Brand Experience Manager revealed, “At the age of 20, Coco Gauff is already showing the world that anything is possible when you dare to dream — the definition of a Wheaties Champion. We are thrilled to recognize Coco as our newest Wheaties champion amid her incredible season on the court and her ongoing activism work off the court.”

The WTA star expressed her appreciation for the brand on social media. A fan shared a photo of their kitchen shelf, stacked with limited-edition Wheaties boxes featuring icons like Simone Biles and Gauff. Touched by the gesture, Gauff reshared the post on her IG story, enthusiastically commenting, “Love it!!!” This social media interaction expressed her liking for the cereal, a sentiment she further showcased upon returning home from the 2024 Wuhan Open.

Gauff posted a picture of the Wheaties box featuring her image, captioning it, “Waiting all month to get home to finally try it hahaha.” Her excitement resonated with fans, and her mother, Candi Gauff, who joined the celebration. Candi Gauff shared a post, showcasing the cereal box, and wrote, “Finally home from my 3-week trip to China with Coco. Now, I can finally eat my ‘breakfast of champions’ cereal.”

Gauff’s collaboration with Wheaties marks Gauff as the 13th tennis star to grace Wheaties’ iconic orange box, following Billie Jean King’s feature last year. Upon receiving this honor, Gauff expressed immense joy, seeing it as an opportunity to inspire future generations.

“I hope to keep empowering the next generation,” said Coco Gauff after a feature of Wheaties box

Coco Gauff was delighted to join the team of inspiring athletes on the Wheaties limited edition box. “It is an honor to be on the next Wheaties box, especially as the legendary Billie Jean King passes the historic ‘Wheaties Champion’ title onto me,” she said expressing her happiness. However, her enthusiasm and excitement were revealed when the former US Open champion added, “I’ve had so many role models in this sport help guide my professional and personal journey, and I hope to keep empowering the next generation to also work hard and dream big.” It seemed this recognition fuelled her zeal to offer impressive performances that inspire the next generation.

Coco Gauff’s love for Wheaties cereal is undeniable, but it seems she cherishes her feature on the brand’s exclusive orange box even more. Despite the ups and downs of her 2024 season, her determination was seen, earning her two titles after a disappointing defense at the 2024 US Open. Her journey is a testament to the power of self-belief and hard work that helps one in unlocking their true potential.
