The United States is drawing significant attention at this year’s Australian Open. Coco Gauff in the women’s field and Ben Shelton in the men’s field are two of the biggest names representing the country. However, they are also making headlines for news off the court.
Reports suggest that the two may be in a rumored relationship. Various articles and magazines have hinted at a potential romance between the American tennis stars.
Shelton has previously spoken highly of Gauff. The left-hander stated that the 2023 US Open champion is great for the sport and that her personality adds immense value.
Gauff, She’s charismatic. Such a great athlete. Has so many qualities out there that resemble a male player. You can see something from her that’s special and different. She plays with a lot of passion. You can tell she cares out there. She’s into it every time she’s out on court. I think that’s something people love.
Ben Shelton said in an interview
Shelton has also mentioned his friendships with many American female tennis players. Notably, he has talked about his close friendship with Gauff.
I’m friends with most of them. Definitely close friends with Coco and Chris Eubanks. We’ve been watching pretty closely to see if Banks will get in as a lucky loser. He was third, and one guy pulled out. Obviously, I was watching Navarro and Stearns today. Two college players, and yeah, that was an absolute war.
