Coco Gauff is having some precious time off after the Australian Open debacle. The American sensation bowed out of the Grand Slam Down Under in the quarterfinal after losing against Paula Badosa. Despite being one of the favorites to win the event, it was a disappointing end to Gauff’s campaign. Subsequently, she flew back to her hometown and spent quality time with her family. Earlier this week, Gauff caught the attention of the tennis world with her dazzling appearance at a grand event which also invited reactions from her mother, Candi.

Gauff was present at the new Unrivaled Basketball League, which premiered on January 17. It is a professional three-on-three women’s league in the United States. The American sensation put on an all-denim outfit and looked classy. Gauff was present on the courtside during the Phantom vs. Rose game yesterday.

Later, the official Instagram handle of Unrivaled Basketball League shared a picture of Gauff in her all-denim outfit and won praise from the tennis world for her style statement. Additionally, Gauff’s mother, Candi, also shared her daughter’s picture via a story on her Instagram handle, as she couldn’t take her eyes off Gauff. Further, Candi also left a couple of emojis on the post by Unrivaled Basketball League, as she added a heart and a fire emoji on the post.

However, Gauff’s mother wasn’t the only one who reacted to Gauff’s stunning appearance. Even Tommy Paul’s girlfriend, Paige Lorenzo, had a wonderful two-word praise for Gauff, commenting, “Gorgeous queen” on the Instagram post. Subsequently, Gauff’s fans were also drooling over her looks and praised her for her glamorous appearance.

Meanwhile, Gauff is readying to come back stronger after her disappointing Australian Open campaign. After her grim loss to Badosa, the American sensation made a candid confession about her performance Down Under.

Coco Gauff on her Australian Open exit: ‘I’m not crushed’

After finishing her 2024 campaign on a high by winning the WTA Finals title, Gauff was dubbed to continue her winning run in 2025. While she won the United Cup, to begin with, her Australian Open campaign didn’t go as planned. Nonetheless, Gauff is hopeful of putting on a good show in the upcoming tournaments.

During an interview after her defeat to Badosa, Gauff revealed, “US Open I needed to work on my serve. Not saying that my serve is where I want it to be, but I worked on it. Obviously a big improvement. So I want to continue working on that, continue working on playing aggressive margin. So I feel like I’m on the road to the right way, right path. I’m not crushed. I think at US Open I felt from the start of the year to that point I had maybe, not gone backwards, but backwards or a little bit stagnant. Even though I lost today, I feel like I’m in an upward trajectory.”

The American sensation will next be seen in action at the Qatar Open, which is the first WTA 1000 tournament of the season. It’ll be interesting to see what goods she comes up with to make a strong comeback after her Australian Open debacle.
