Coco Gauff’s star continues to rise, both on and off the tennis court. Last week, the 20-year-old tennis sensation was listed among the most marketable athletes globally, topping the tennis category. Now, she’s hit another cultural milestone—being name-dropped by rapper Tyler, The Creator in his latest single, *Thought I Was Dead*, released as part of his much-anticipated album *Chromakopia*.
The track, which also features artist Santigold, includes a memorable line: “B-tch, you ain’t Coco Gauff, you can’t serve me,” referencing Gauff’s prowess as a 2023 US Open champion. The athlete’s reaction on X (formerly Twitter) was one of disbelief and excitement: “Waking up to my name being mentioned in a Tyler song… Absolutely insane,” she wrote, thanking the rapper.
While enjoying her mainstream popularity, Gauff continues to work hard on her game. After grappling with serve issues—like a recent match with 21 double faults—she remains undeterred, having recently hired coach Matt Daly to address her technique.
