Coco Gauff
starred in a promotional advertisement for the upcoming Captain Marvel movie:
The Marvels, alongside fellow athletes Diana Taurasi and Sydney McLauglhin.
World No. 3
has become one of the most marketable tennis players recently, especially since
winning her first Grand Slam at the 2023 US Open. Now, she has joined the
promotion for the upcoming Marvel movie. Coco Gauff shared a video on social
media featuring herself with athlete Sydney McLaughilin and basketball player
Diana Taurasi.
In the
video, the athletes can be seen switching sports, with Gauff playing
basketball, Taurasi running on a track, and McLaughlin picking up a tennis
racket, all under the tagline "Higher, Further, Faster."
“Imagine
trading places with your favorite athletes… Grab your team and experience…”
Coco
Gauff in the semifinals of the WTA Finals
The
19-year-old tennis player recently celebrated her qualification for the WTA
Finals semifinals. Gauff participated in the tournament for the second time,
and this time she performed better, securing victories against Ons Jabeur (6-0,
6-1) and Marketa Vondrousova (5-7, 7-6, 6-3), although she suffered a defeat to
Iga Swiatek (0-6, 5-7).
After
defeating the Czech player in her last match, Gauff had to wait for the result
of the Swiatek-Jabeur match since her spot in the semifinals was not
guaranteed. A win by the Tunisian player could have eliminated her from the
tournament in the round-robin stage.
With Swiatek's victory, the American
remains in the competition and faces a tough challenge against her compatriot
and doubles partner, Jessica Pegula.
Pegula won
her group and overcame her disappointing results from 2022, where she suffered
three defeats. Both Gauff and Pegula also played doubles together last year,
where they experienced three consecutive losses.
This time,
they will compete against each other for a spot in the tournament's semifinals.
Pegula leads their head-to-head record 2-1, with their most recent encounter
taking place three months ago at the Canadian Open, where the 29-year-old
player emerged victorious.

- All the men dropping like flies. Something’s gotta be done with the tournament calendar or many more players will be on the sidelines in the near future. Surprised Carlos is back as soon as he is. Get well soon Sinner, Draper, Fokina, Rune, etc. etc. etc……DaveyWavey25-08-2026
- I want Pegula to surprise as a one-slam wonder winning in New York. She would then jump over the other three ladies for a number one ranking! I’d put my money on the two American girlies, Jessica and Coco to win in New York. Rybakina cannot seem to perform under this kind of pressure and Sabalenka appears in an anger fog ATM.DaveyWavey24-08-2026
- Well said, Andy. I got sick of Nick carrying on and on and on about Sinner. He absolutely refused to look at the facts. Now look at him. Karma is real!!!Rapunzel23-08-2026
- The fact that ANDY RODDICK of all people has become the voice of “reason” is interesting. He’s absolutely correct about Kyrgios too. He’s become a tennis influencer who is a total hypocrite and bully! I agree with RODDICK 100%DaveyWavey23-08-2026
- Great article! Thiem was similar to Del Potro in that both men had won Grand Slams and injured wrists each stole their careers away. Sad really.DaveyWavey22-08-2026
- I’m not quite sure what’s happening with Sabalenka but she is horrible on court when she’s losing (which is a lot lately). If you cannot control your self at all once you start losing matches - especially at 28 - you need to see a therapist or take a break from the sport. Terrible attitude. This is what represents the women’s tennis tour? Yikes!DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- Love Halep’s post! Very pointed yet simple.DaveyWavey20-08-2026
- He’s such a hypocritical douche! I remember when Sinner was out for three months on his ban and Kyrgios made such disparaging comments towards him and how awful he was. He’s such a mess of a human being.DaveyWavey19-08-2026
- Help me understand this. Nick tests positive for cocaine and gets suspended but Marketa gets banned for four years?Rapunzel19-08-2026
