Coco Gauff, the current World No. 3 in women’s tennis, recently expressed her gratitude for the unwavering support of her fans during her third-round match against Oceane Dodin at the 2024 Miami Open. Gauff, seeded third in the WTA 1000 tournament, received a bye into the second round, where she triumphed over Argentine Nadia Podoroska with a commanding 6-1, 6-2 victory.
Sharing heartwarming moments from the tournament on her Instagram on Sunday, March 24, Gauff showcased the special connection she shares with her fans. One image captured a supporter holding a sign that cleverly referenced lyrics from Drake’s song ‘Jimmy Cooks,’ reading, “Coco don’t tell me that you model if you ain’t been in Vogue.” Gauff, visibly touched by the gesture, expressed her appreciation, writing, “Supporter of the day!! Sign goes so hard.”
The significance of the sign was not lost on Gauff, who had recently graced the cover of Vogue’s April 2024 issue, captivating audiences in a stunning sequined Michael Kors dress. Another photo shared by Gauff featured a young fan proudly sporting her 2024 Australian Open kit by New Balance, complete with a yellow top and skirt adorned with navy stripes. “This cutie in my Aussie Open kit too,” Gauff remarked, further highlighting the bond between her and her fans.
Gauff’s appreciation for her supporters seemed to fuel her performance on the court, as she went on to secure a convincing 6-4, 6-0 victory over Dodin, advancing to the fourth round of the tournament. In doubles, Gauff teamed up with compatriot Jessica Pegula, but the fifth-seeded pair faced an early exit, falling to another American duo, Ashlyn Krueger and Sloane Stephens, in the first round with a score of 3-6, 6-1, 8-10.
As Gauff continues her journey at the Miami Open, her connection with her fans serves as a source of inspiration, fueling her determination to excel on the court and leaving an indelible mark on the tennis world. With each match, she not only showcases her formidable skills but also reinforces the bond between athletes and their supporters, creating moments of shared joy and celebration.
