Serena Williams and Coco Gauff are in fantastic terms. They share the same coach (Patrick Mouratoglou) and they also had the chance to bond when spending part of the last pre-season together.
Serena and Coco will be part of the American contingent that will challenge Team Latvia in the Fed Cup tie this coming weekend at the Angel of the Winds Arena in Everett (WA). The other members of the team are the new Australian Open champion Sofia Kenin, Alison Riske and Bethanie Mattek-Sands.
Here the video of Serena and Coco training and having fun together.
