Former US Open champion Coco Gauff has already proven herself as the star of the 2025 season. With a stellar performance, this WTA star played a crucial role in helping her team USA clinch the 2025 United Cup trophy. Following the victory, Gauff shared an emotional post, in which her boyfriend made a heartwarming appearance, showering love on his talented belle.
Gauff kicked off her 2025 season with a victory for Team USA in the United Cup. She decided to ditch the ASB Classic tournament despite winning it twice and proved that her spirit was indomitable. Not only that, but Gauff also became the youngest player after Daria Kasatkina to win three matches straight against the top 2 WTA players. Although her teammates Desirae Krawczyk, Michael Russell, Denis Kudla, and Rob Galloway offered Poland a fierce battle in the finals, the 2023 US Open champion set the tone with an electrifying victory against Iga Swiatek. After the WTA Finals, Gauff overpowered Swiatek by 6-4 and 6-4 and celebrated her team’s victory with a bottle of champagne. This was Team USA’s second victory at the United Cup and it delighted Coco Gauff.
She took a moment to share the news with her social media followers with a special IG post. She shared her team’s images with the trophy, her winning moments, and fun with her teammates and captioned it, “united cup champions 🇺🇸 #digggggggg.” Gauff’s social media post became flooded with comments as soon as it was made public. However, one special person’s comment delighted Gauff’s fans, and it was Gauff’s boyfriend, Jalen Sera. Sera appreciated his partner’s incredible talent and wrote, “Here we go.” Although his message was short, it could still express his emotions and pride about Gauff’s brilliance.
