But that was not the major highlight, her rumored boyfriend, in no time, commented on the post and shared a birthday wish for her, receiving a great response from the Grand Slam champion.

Earthbenders are a distinct and powerful group in the vast world of Avatar, the Last Airbender. They demonstrate remarkable abilities like metal bending, lava bending, and even the rare skill of face-bending, all thanks to their ability to alter the ground.

Just a few days ago, Gauff proudly shared her review of the same and highlighted the unnecessary hate the first part received.
