WATCH: Coco Gauff and Alexandra Eala shut down viral nickname suggestion from fans with humor

WTA stars Coco Gauff and Alexandra Eala have sent a joint message to their fans amid the Italian Open 2025 campaign. Notably, the two star players have paired up for the Italian Open women's doubles. Gauff and Eala were seen thanking the fans for their constant support they showed to the duo across their first two games of the Rome Masters 1000 tournament.

The 19-year-old Eala shared a video in which she was seen hailing the Italian Open crowd for cheering him. The young sensation is hopeful of getting huge crowds in their upcoming matches as well.

On the other hand, USA star player Coco Gauff has made her presence known in the video. She also hailed the amazing crowd that kept cheering for them in their blockbuster doubles showdown. However, the star player showcased her disappointment at their nickname 'Team Coachella,' which the fans have given them. The duo then urged the fans to change their name.

"Hi everybody. It's Alex and Coco here. Thank you so much for all the support that you've been giving us this week, and hopefully in our next match, a lot of you will come out and watch," Eala said in a video.

"Yeah. Thank you guys for all the support. Super happy to be playing with Alex and hope you guys keep supporting us. And we don't like Team Coachella, so pick a new name. Okay, so another name. Maybe another name. Okay, bye," Gauff chimed in.
