Tennis star Coco Gauff has expressed pride in meeting Venus Williams, whom she hails as one of the icons she has met during the ongoing French Open 2025. The young tennis star has been in exceptional form, dominating the red clay court in Paris. She has made it to the fourth round of the Roland Garros 2025, where she will be facing Ekaterina Alexandrova.
Meanwhile, the tennis star has defeated Marie Bouzkova in the third round of the 2025 French Open. She seems to be one of the most formidable players on the major clay and will be leaving no stone unturned in winning her first-ever title this year after making it to the Madrid Open and Italian Open finals.
'Honour to be alongside you! thanks for the chat," Gauff wrote on her post
Venus Williams hails Coco Gauff's play in the 2025 French Open
Just a day ago, Venus Williams and Coco Gauff recently came face-to-face for a heartwarming exchange at the French Open 2025. Notably, the former is covering the tournament as an analyst this time, while Gauff is one of the top contenders to win the title here in Paris.
The former world number one has highly praised Gauff for her stellar clay-court run so far. Notably, the young American has made it to the finals of the Mutua Madrid Open and Italian Open but lost against Aryna Sabalenka and Jasmine Paolini, respectively. Her performance on the clay court surface makes her a strong player to win the title here.
"And she's had a great year so far, and I know you have big dreams, and to win this tournament, you went so close. And you're going to absolutely do it. But you have to do it one match at a time, but you got the goods. You got the attitude. I mean, you want to win every point, maybe too much sometimes. So the passion is there," the 44-year-old added.
