In the world of tennis, one young player is causing a stir with her exceptional talent and poise on the court. Coco Gauff, a rising star in American tennis, has been winning over fans and former professionals with her remarkable skills. Former tennis star Andy Roddick is among those who have expressed their admiration for her.
In a recent episode of the “Served” podcast on July 30, Roddick and co-host Jon Wertheim discussed various tennis topics, including the upcoming Paris Olympics and the performances of young athletes. It was during this podcast that Roddick took the time to praise Gauff for her achievements and character.
As Gauff geared up for her first Olympic Games, she was given the prestigious honor of carrying the U.S. flag, a clear sign of the respect and trust her team has in her abilities. This moment served as a significant acknowledgment of Gauff’s status as a rising star in American tennis.
Roddick has not been shy about his admiration for Gauff in the past. During a discussion on the Tennis Channel Live Podcast on June 21st, he commended her performance at the Ladies Open, where she faced a tough opponent in Ekaterina Alexandrova. Roddick specifically highlighted Gauff’s resilience and composure under pressure, qualities that have become synonymous with her game.
“He (Roddick) has expressed his admiration for Gauff on other occasions as well,” said a source close to the former tennis star. “He truly appreciates her talent and the way she carries herself on and off the court.”
With each impressive performance, Coco Gauff continues to solidify her place as one of the most promising young talents in the world of tennis. And with the support of former professionals like Andy Roddick, her future in the sport looks brighter than ever.
