Coco Gauff Flaunts Her Soccer Skills as She Sneaks Time From Her Schedule at the China Open

Fun-time! After a horrid run at the North American hard court swing, it seems as if Coco Gauff is loving her time in Asia. She recently parted ways with Brad Gilbert and now Matt Daly has joined Jean-Christophe Faurel to bring some success to her camp for the rest of the season. Talking about success, well, she recently won her first match at the China Open. Gauff beat France’s Clara Burel by 7-5,6-3, and next up for her is the Brit, Katie Boulter. However, before hitting the courts for her next match, Gauff was spotted hitting a soccer ball on the tennis court!

Sports truly runs in the blood of this family! Coco Gauff also has a special affinity towards the track. “I did do track and basketball. I really love track. I think I would have been a good 400 runner,” she said once during an interview. In the off-season, fans often find her trying multiple such activities including some running or swimming to keep herself fit and active throughout that period. Once she even wanted to try out boxing, but she said that the timing with the instructor never really worked out for her.

While Gauff is interested in other sports apart from tennis and is enjoying her time off the court, she would also want to be focused on court, as she aims for the China Open title. Do you think she can do it?
