2023 US Open Champion Coco Gauff recently shocked the world based on how she started her new year. Gauff celebrated the beginning of a new year by bungee jumping her way from the Auckland Sky Tower. She even posted a video about it where she can be seen jumping from the tower and landing on the base.
Her family also accompanied her while she was doing this. Her brother Codey Gauff was also there and participated in the bungee jumping adventure with her. However, after she posted her whole experience of jumping, other tennis players reacted to it in very different ways especially Jessica Pegula and Alycia Parks on her post.

Jessica Pegula reacted to this post with the comment, “Why am I laughing so hard at the video 😂”. It is because she found the video to be very funny probably because of the screaming and how scared Coco Gauff was when she jumped.

On the other hand, Alycia Parks wrote, “Omg that is actually brave asf😭👏🏾”. Her reaction was more towards applauding her for doing such a brave thing despite being scared of such a height. The reactions these two tennis players gave on her post were poles apart and show the kind understanding her fans may have also gotten from the video. Further, Coco Gauff also shared how her entire family participated in this activity with her except her father.
