Coco Gauff is up and running on clay as she registers a win on her debut on the surface for the season. Playing as the third seed at the 2024 Porsche Tennis Grand Prix in Stuttgart, she was made to go the distance by compatriot Sachia Vickery. Gauff, however, prevailed 6-3, 4-6, 7-5.

Following the win, she was made aware of the praise she was showered upon by Hollywood fame Zendaya. The actor is currently busy with promotional activities for her upcoming movie ‘Challengers’. She is shown as a former tennis player turned coach in the sports drama.

Gauff has been one of the rising stars in tennis, not only in America but globally. Zendaya’s popularity has also been rising rapidly and owing to her latest project, she is making a name for herself in the tennis circles as well. She was also spotted in the stands with her boyfriend Tom Holland at the 2024 Indian Wells Open.

Hey Zendaya, it's Coco. I just want to say thank you so much for the shoutout, it was the best way to start my morning. I'm such a fan and you're such a huge inspiration for me. I can't wait to see Challengers. I'm super excited. I loved the looks you have been serving. Maybe one day we can meet up and hopefully maybe we can get a head in.
said Coco Gauff, speaking to the press.

Zendaya, along with her co-stars, was also spotted in attendance for the 2024 Monte Carlo Masters semis between Jannik Sinner and Stefanos Tsitsipas. With their movie set to release next week, they are making the most of the opportunity to capture the attention of all tennis fans.

Coco Gauff’s coach Brad Gilbert hints at meeting with Zendaya soon

With the Golden Swing majorly played on the European continent, it could be a while before Gauff and Zendaya can have a joint practice session. But Gauff’s coach Brad Gilbert is ready to make full arrangements to make it happen as quickly as possible.

As the US Open’s official X (formerly Twitter) account posted the video, Gilbert was quick to reply. His tweet hints that the meeting between the two American stars isn’t far away and he could be the one orchestrating it. 

I think that can happen
tweeted Brad Gilbert

Back in Stuttgart, the reigning US Open champ now has to play the waiting game to know her next opponent. She will take on the winner from the clash between fifth-seeded Qinwen Zheng and Marta Kostyuk. Zheng defeated Sorana Cirstea in straight-sets while Kostyuk overpowered Laura Siegemund in three close sets.

Gauff’s win over Vickery sees her qualify for the quarter-finals in Stuttgart for the first time. In her debut appearance, she suffered a defeat in the first round. Gauff then suffered a second-round exit in the 2023 edition.
