Team USA has arrived in Paris for the 2024 Olympics and the women athletes are slaying it already. Be it the gymnasts or tennis players, they are evidently keeping up with the trends. While Simone Biles-led gymnastics team did the ‘attitude check’ for social media, Coco Gauff-led tennis team also chipped in with their own version.
Taking inspiration from the gymnastics team, the women’s tennis team also filmed a video wherein they carried out the ‘attitude check’. Gauff was joined by the other members of the team including Jessica Pegula, Emma Navarro, Danielle Collins, and Desirae Krawczyk.
The video started with Gauff coming for the ‘attitude check’, followed by doubles partner Pegula and then Navarro. Krawczyk passed this ‘attitude check’ but it was Collins who stole the show with her twerk. The 30-year-old was the last in the queue and ensured that it ended on a great note.
Collins left everyone stunned with her moves, with Gauff bursting into laughter. Meanwhile, fans on social media also enjoyed Collins’ moves.

Coco Gauff carries the burden of expectations of gold medal
While Team USA’s women are enjoying their time in Paris so far, they have immense responsibilities to fulfill as they compete at one of the biggest sporting events in the world. Amongst all, Coco Gauff carries the biggest burden of expectations as she is the highest-ranked women’s tennis player on the team.

Although it is the 20-year-old’s first-ever Olympic Games, Gauff is expected to fare better considering her form of late. Also, the 2023 US Open champion likes playing on clay. She has reached the last-eight stage in four of the five editions of Roland Garros in her career.
Gauff reached the semifinals at the French Open this year, wherein she was defeated by Iga Swiatek. The Polish ace will be a threat to Gauff yet again as she is also taking part in the Summer Games. However, the American recently stated that she plans to live in the movement and not get lost in the excitement.
