Venus Williams praises Coco Gauff’s performance and asks her for one wish

The 20-year-old tennis player represents the United States as the number one player and follows in the footsteps of seven-time Grand Slam champion and her sister Serena Williams, a 23-time champion.

She has already won a Grand Slam title and will be looking to secure her third at the WTA Finals in November 2024. Coco Gauff has long spoken about the influence Venus and Serena had on her, and she is poised to create a great legacy in tennis, just as her siblings did before her.

What did Venus Williams say about Coco Gauff? Venus Williams has been making several media appearances recently to promote her new book, Aspiration: 8 Steps to Finding Your Awesomeness.

While appearing on The Tamron Hall Show in America, the 44-year-old was asked about Gauff, who was in the crowd at one of her US Open matches as a child. The former world number one is thrilled to see Gauff thriving and wishes the 2023 US Open winner all the best for the future.

“It’s so exciting to see her explode,” Williams said. “She’s amazing and of course I hope she wins all her matches.”
