"I'm really not, I just like to crochet, watch anime and play Fortnite": Coco Gauff laughs off Most Intriguing People nod
WTASaturday, 09 December 2023 at 02:30
America’s young tennis star Coco
Gauff reacted to the news of being named in the PEOPLE's 25 Most Intriguing
People of the Year.
The 19-year-old is often regarded
as one of the most highly-rated players currently playing in the women’s singles
category. Gauff has been named recently in the PEOPLE's 25 Most
Intriguing People of the Year.
Expressing her surprise, the current
world number three posted an interesting response in a story on her official
Instagram account.
“lol good to know PEOPLE thinks I'm
intriguing. I'm really not. I just like to crochet, watch anime, and play
Fortnite all day when I am not practicing or working,” she said. “But I
appreciate the shoutout haha it's pretty cool being on this list among actual
intriguing people.”
Gauff lived up to the hype in 2023 as
she won the first Grand Slam after beating the world number two Belarus’ Aryna
Sabalenka in the final of the US Open with a score of 2–6, 6–3, 6–2.
Other than that, she also played in
the quarterfinal of the French Open, where she lost to world
number one Poland’s Iga Swiatek with a score of 6-4, 6-2. Gauff ended the year on a bit of a high as she managed to qualify for the semifinal of the WTA Finals but lost to fellow American Jessica Pegula.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
