Coco Gauff did not shine at the WTA Finals, losing to Aryna Sabalenka and Jessica Pegula.
Although the young American was dominant in her match against Jasmine Paolini, it was known that Sabalenka and Pegula would be a much tougher challenge.
While these are disappointing moments, Coco Gauff has drawn a lot of positives from these tournaments, aware of how much of an honor it is to be among the top eight in the world. Coco Gauff spoke about this on social media, emphasizing that it is an honor to be part of this tournament and compete against the top eight.
“Always an honor to be a part of and compete against the top 8 in the world, thank you Riyadh “- Coco wrote.
The next tournament could be a very different experience, but Gauff is a young tennis player who learns something new during each tournament and develops her skills day by day. Her performances are always under the public’s scrutiny, and the reactions on social media are the best indicator of that.
Her brother Codey reacted to the performance, seeming excited about what awaits Gauff next year.
Codey emphasizes that 2026 is “on the way” and that Coco can probably achieve even greater success next season.
“26 otw”- he wrote.
Gauff on her family
Coco Gauff has previously spoken about how harmonious her family is and how well she and her family get along. Gauff believes that without the support of her family, she would hardly be able to take such important steps. This is best evidenced by the support of her brother, who stands firmly by her, just like the rest of the family.
Coco is already focused on the future and the next challenges, happy about the many shining moments this season. Gauff showed that she belongs at the very top of the WTA ranking, so it will be interesting to follow her future and see how much she can really do.
“The support that I have is amazing, and especially my parents, for them to sacrifice so much and come on the road, and my brothers sacrificing time with their parents, because they end up being there for me in those big moments, and [my brothers] being so understanding means the world,” she said. “I truly can’t do it without them.”
