Coco Gauff continues to expand the boundaries of inspiring people with her style. It has been almost a year since the young American tennis star made her name known to the world by lifting the glorious US Open trophy. While female fans of tennis have named Gauff as their inspiration, her fever continues to capture the hearts of players from different sports as well.
The scope of tennis in the USA is not as big as some would like it to be. While it has been a concern for a long time, Coco Gauff’s aura and talent have awarded her with not just a grand slam title but also the crown to lead the mission.
Recently, WNBA star Cameron Brink stepped out for a pregame in a new outfit. While she is also a part of the renowned brand New Balance just like Coco Gauff is, her sportswear closely resembles the look that the WTA star has chosen for the French Open.

Tossing the ball for the Los Angeles Sparks, Brink’s addition to Gauff’s fan club is nothing less than a big achievement. The WTA star, who is now looking forward to beginning her run for the French Open title, is undoubtedly honored with the attention she receives from players of her own age group.

“I don’t know if I would be that type of player, but I will say if I could go in another life I would love to play at the same time as Caitlin Clark just to see if I could guard her.

Coco Gauff has established her name as a recognized figure across the globe. While the popularity of tennis in the USA was seen as a concern, her growing levels among different sports gave a positive sign.
