Overwhelmed by Cameron Brink’s Tribute, Coco Gauff Makes an Emotional Admission About WNBA Rookie at French Open

Coco Gauff and Cameron Brink are founding a mutual admiration society! The WNBA rookie modeled an outfit after the American tennis star a few days ago, citing the inspiration behind her new threads. While Gauff was quick to acknowledge her response with an Instagram story, it looks like she had a lot more to say.

In a recent interview conducted by the Roland Garros press after her third consecutive win, Coco Gauff expressed her views about the budding WNBA star’s praise of her. “It was really cool. I haven’t got the chance to meet Cameron yet, but obviously been watching her a lot when she was at Stanford and now seeing her in the WNBA is great, and I definitely want to try to catch a game,” the 20-year-old said, acknowledging the recent incident along with promising to book tickets for one of Brink’s games in the future.

Both Gauff and Brink are closely associated with the renowned sportswear giant New Balance. Expressing a wish for the brand to take up a new project, Gauff added, “I hope one day maybe — New Balance is my team. I hope they give her a signature shoe one day, and I can rock it too for my press events. Yeah, she’s awesome.”

Coco Gauff is currently focused on her run for the title in Paris. The young American recently made it to the fourth round by serving Dayana Yastremska with a swift 6-2, 6-4 defeat. Although she had to go through the ups and downs of technicalities in her form, the tennis star still stands strong as a role model for young enthusiasts, extending her name beyond tennis to other sports as well.

However, besides simply flaunting her new outfit inspired by Gauff, Cameron Brink also presented a strong statement to highlight the depth of her admiration for the US Open champion.

Everything changed for Coco Gauff the moment she defeated Aryna Sabalenka to lift the US Open title back in 2023. While it might seem to be just a grand slam victory for a young athlete, things turned out to be quite bigger for the 20-year-old as she emerged as an inspiration for millions of enthusiasts.

Along with sharing a post to mention that her new outfit was designed by drawing inspiration from Coco Gauff, Cameron Brink also stated that she wishes to shine like the WTA star someday. “I wanna be like Coco,” the WNBA rookie said, acknowledging all the aspects that earned Gauff immense love and support from fans across the globe.

Gauff’s recent interaction with Cameron Brink added another chapter to her chronicles with the WNBA stars. As her conversations targeted other players like Caitlin Clark and Angel Reese already made waves in the past, it is evident that the fans would remember her for this story as well.
