About this listen
This is Coco Gauff, and here’s everything buzzing around my world in just the past few days. Following an emotional US Open run that ended with a tough fourth-round loss to Naomi Osaka on August 31, I hit pause on competitive tennis to regroup. I stayed in New York, taking advantage of the downtime, and yes, I shared some sweet moments on Instagram with my boyfriend Jalen Sera—photos that got lots of attention across sports and celebrity news. Simone Biles and Euphoria’s Storm Reid even jumped into my comments when I joked about wanting to play a giant game of tag with friends. “Count me in,” wrote Simone, and Storm asked if she was invited, which lit up my mentions and added some needed levity to my post-US Open recharge. That moment gave fans a peek at my lighter side as the tennis world transitions to the start of the Asian swing.
For the record, according to TennisUpToDate and Sportskeeda, these social posts followed an emotional period for me on court. After my US Open exit and an earlier early-round loss at Wimbledon, it’s been a season of high highs and learning moments. I admitted in recent press that the constant expectations sometimes get overwhelming, saying, “We play for 11 months, it’s not that easy… it’s completely normal for maybe a player to have a good three, four weeks and then maybe not as well for three, four weeks.” Those public admissions about pressure and occasional breakdowns, especially my teary on-court moment against Donna Vekic, earned empathy from fans and sparked new conversations about athlete mental health.
Business-wise, things are mostly quiet. No new endorsements or partnerships leaked this week but as the defending champion, I’ll be back in action at the China Open, which kicks off September 24 in Beijing. That title defense shapes up to be one of the major arcs of my fall season. Until then, it’s about resting, resetting, and returning at my best. Social media has kept buzzing with fans and fellow athletes cheering me on, and I’m doing my best to share the real ups and downs, sometimes laughing off awkward moments—like that viral on-court slip—by joking to followers, “Nothing to see here.”
