🎾 Wimbledon Update: Coco Gauff’s Name Mix-Up! 🇬🇧✈️
Coco Gauff has become a star attraction at Wimbledon, making it to her first-ever quarter-final, but it’s her name that’s been turning heads off the court. Did you know? Coco is actually her nickname! Her real name is Cori Gauff. This playful moniker came about to avoid household confusion with her dad, Corey.
Her name double-take has led to some funny travel mishaps! Imagine trying to check into the hotel or board a flight when the booking is under “Cori” but everyone knows her as Coco! 😂
Gauff shared how she often finds herself explaining to hotel and airport staff, “It’s just a nickname. I’m not somebody who looks like her!” Oh, the joys of having a nickname that sticks!
As she gears up to face her doubles partner Jessica Pegula on the iconic Centre Court, Coco’s got more than her name on folks’ minds. The two make an exciting match-up and will undoubtedly deliver some thrilling tennis action! 🎾✨
Coco’s journey from a 15-year-old sensation to now has been incredible, and with her winning strokes and a name story to boot, she’s a fan favourite both on and off the court!
