Coco Gauff began her 2023 WTA Finals campaign with a win over sixth seed Ons Jabeur. On Tuesday, October 31, the defending US Open champion prevailed 6-0, 6-1 in the tournament’s round-robin phase in Cancun.
Gauff was asked what her favorite post-match action was after winning her first Grand Slam in an interview. She responded that the celebrity messages were what gave it its distinctive look.
Gauff specifically mentioned that singer and actor Zendaya gave him a massive bouquet of flowers weighing nearly fifty pounds.
Gauff revealed it in a recent interview and said: “I didn’t really do anything that cool after winning the US Open, to be honest. But the messages you get from celebrities are crazy. The coolest thing that happened to me was that Zendaya sent me flowers to my house.”
She said that in order to get the ornate arrangement on the table, she and her brother had to lift it together.
She added: “It was like a huge bouquet of flowers. My brother and I struggled to lift it up on the table. I think it weighed at least 50 pounds. It was so heavy. I think that was the coolest thing.”
