US Open ‘Queen’ Coco Gauff Finds a New Fanboy in Idol Serena Williams’ Nephew as She Dishes Out Sassy Prize Money Verdict

Wishes are flooding in for Coco Gauff, the new US Open champion. As the 19-year-old tennis player became the youngest American US Open champion after Serena Williams in the Open Era, she is enjoying the best phase of her life. While she enjoyed her newfound wealth after winning her first Grand Slam, she also received accolades from her idol, the ‘Queen of the Court’. Now it looks like her family is following suit.

Even though it has been a few days since her triumph, the new queen of Flushing Meadows is still being praised. Gauff recently received a message of encouragement from a member of Serena Williams’ family while standing with a $3 million victory.

Recently, the sixth-ranked tennis player went live on social media for her fans, where she talked about what she would like to do with her winnings. However, during that session, a fan’s comment caused a stir as someone suggested paying off her debts, something she didn’t have at that moment.

Jair Bobbitt, the nephew of the 23-time Grand Slam champion, posted the same clip from Gauff’s live session on his Instagram account, along with a motivating message for the US Open winner. He wrote, “I usually don’t use this phrase, but go off Queen.”

The clip that was shared by Serena’s nephew is going viral, regarding how the 19-year-old doesn’t have any debt, as she didn’t go to college and lives with her parents. So the $3 million prize money is something that she can save or use for some other purpose.
