Coco Gauff finally got what destiny had in store for her, winning her first Grand Slam at the US Open, in front of her own adoring crowd.
After a few years of waiting, her first great results have finally arrived. The North American tour first saw victories in Washington and Cincinnati and then the consecration in Flushing Meadows. In front of her family Coco came from behind to beat the new world number one Aryna Sabalenka in the final, achieving a historic success.
Very active between interviews and social media in recent hours, the very young tennis player has responded to her fans’ questions and, oneĀ in particular has intrigued her followers. A fan asked Coco how she will use the money from the US Open winnings and if she has any particular debts to pay off.
Gauff was keen to clarify this aspect and released the following statements: “I am 19 years old and I have no debt. I still live with my parents so I am not in debt. I did not go to college and I have no bills to pay. I’m too young and I thank my parents who never put me in a position to be in debt, so I have nothing to pay and I have no debts.”
Coco Gauff talked about her father
A lesson in humility given in a short time by the tennis player. In fact, the girl clarified that she does not intend to waste money, making it clear that she gives the right value to the money. Coco Gauff is number three in the world but many identify her as Serena Williams’ true heir, literally her idol as her tennis player.
In the press conference after the victory at the US Open, Coco also told how she felt after this success: “My father was the first person I saw, it’s really the first time I saw him cry. At the Roland Garros he didn’t cry, I’m sure I saw it. I also rarely see my mother cry and I will never forget these moments.
I’m really happy, my father has always supported me in everything. People tried to separate us, he said that he shouldn’t be in my box or that there was no need for him to train me. The truth is this, he’s the reason I won this game.”
