Coco Gauff: "I would like to give a shoutout to Cynthia Erivo, just because she is so talented. She is getting her flowers, but I definitely think they’re long overdue, so I would like to give my flowers to her. I think she is incredible and deserves all the attention and love that she gets. I never met her, but I think she is an incredible person, and I hope to meet her oneday."
She added, "Yeah, all the women keep being authentically you; keep showing up and putting yourself in spaces and don't be afraid of being yourself, whether that’s being superfeminine or supermasculine. Do whatever you want to do and don't feel the pressure of society. But stick to your core and what you wanna do."
Elena Rybakina: "The most important woman around me is my mom. My grandmothers. My sister. I wish you happiness & health. The most important things."
Aryna Sabalenka: "My Mom.First of all, Happy International Women's Day. Take care of yourself. Do stuff that brings you joy, and always have fun and never get too serious about things."
Mirra Andreeva: "I think almost everyone would name their mom. Of course, Mom is special, and she knows me better than I know myself, so my Mom is great, and I love you, Mom."
Paula Badosa: "Sometimes it is difficult to tell that maybe your mother or your parents, but I try to do it. It’s something I’m improving on, but I wanted to do it again, I think. You are an amazing person, and you're always there for me. I know that in the toughest moments, I can count on you.”
Madison Keys: "I think my message to all women is we’re kind of the best, and I think that pretty much everyone is a badass, so just keep that energy up, and we’ll just keep being amazing."
