Coco Gauff continues to revel in the momentous occasion of her Grand Slam triumph. The honor will be bestowed upon the juvenile tennis player by the U.S. Senate, which is composed of senators from her home states of Georgia and Florida.
The resolution, authored by Jon Ossoff (D-Ga.), Marco Rubio (R-Fla.), Reverend Raphael Warnock (D-Ga.), and Rick Scott (R-Fla. ), states, “Coco Gauff’s devotion to the sport, faith, and victories provide an inspiration to millions of young girls and boys across the nation.” “Resolved, That the Senate extend its sincere congratulations to Coco Gauff on her sensational triumph at the US Open Tennis Championships this year.”
The U.S. Open was won by Gauff in September of last year, marking her first Grand Slam triumph. Aside from that, Gauff became the first American adolescent since Serena Williams in 1999 to win the championship.
Gauff has discussed her victory in the tournament and the wild reception she has received, particularly from renowned individuals and personalities with whom she has spent the majority of her life. “The messages you receive from celebrities you follow are insane,” she said in a Tennis Channel interview after her WTA Finals victory against Ons Jabeur in Mexico.
“The most remarkable occurrence of the day was when Zendaya delivered flowers to my residence.” My brother and I struggled to make room on the table for the enormous bouquet of flowers. It likely weighed in excess of fifty pounds. “It was tremendously heavy!”
Gauff’s split from her coach Pere Riba
Gauff addressed her separation from coach Pere Riba, who assisted her in winning the U.S. Open, earlier this week. “That was not my choice.” We had a wonderful time together, and I extend my best wishes for his future endeavors. “While I had hoped for his presence, circumstances dictate that which must be,” Gauff explained. “Pere is an outstanding individual who assisted me in tennis and on a personal level.” Without a doubt, he will achieve achievement regardless of who he associates with.”
Regarding Riba, he appears optimistic regarding Gauff’s future and does not appear to harbor any ill will towards her. “I am certain that Gauff will be number one next year,” he said in a statement to Marca. “I am extremely pleased with the efforts we have collectively accomplished, as every objective was fulfilled.
