Coco Gauff is all set for the Grass Slam in London. With the intense main draw campaign about to begin at Wimbledon, the World N0.2 has stepped out of the court to relax a bit. And most of the tennis fans would know by now about her go-to thing to calm her nerves down – Music! Whether it was the French Open against Iga Swiatek or pushing herself to win the match, everything has a music connection, as it did this time during her new collaboration with Bose.
Coco Gauff certainly has a music playlist for her every mood: winning, losing, nervous, meeting a fan, anything and everything! However, she may not have a song ready for this dream coming true! As she got ready to shoot a campaign for the music accessories/ equipment manufacturer, Bose, she was surprised by the presence of the rapper Little Simz. What followed next was a proper fangirl moment for the 20-year-old. Sharing her special moment with the rapper on her Instagram story, captioned, “This was so much fun ❤️, she is the greatest.”
This was not all, as the rapper also shared the moment of two stars embracing each other. It starts with Gauff, talking to one of the people on the set of the shoot about her love for the rapper. And as she was in the midst of it, Little Simz popped up out of nowhere and walked towards Gauff. And Coco Gauff couldn’t contain her excitement, as she exclaimed and shouted in happiness, “Oh My GOD!” The two hugged for a few moments before sitting side by side and thanking Bose for making this collaboration happen.
Gauff’s love for music is a well-established fact. She had a lineup of the top rappers: Eminem, Cole, Lil Baby, Drake, Kendrick, and all to get her ready for her semifinal clash at the Roland Garros. Her love for Will Smith’s 25-year-old son, Jaden Smith, is also out in the open. And to unwind, her go-to place might be a “classic karaoke night” with her family. However, back in 2023, she had to rely on Justin Bieber to pull her to the win at the US Open.
Coco Gauff’s US Open winning trick: ‘Can’t lose in front of’ whom?
It’s not unusual for celebrities to grace the Grand Slam tournaments. David Beckham has joined tennis fans at the Grass Slam many times. But at the US Open, it was someone from Coco Gauff favorite’s music playlist, Justin Bieber! The Canadian singer was present during Gauff’s match against Elise Mertens. And with one glance at him, Gauff was fired up to not give any space to her opponent.
Elaborating on her inspiration through the match, she said, “I was like, ‘I can’t lose in front of Justin Bieber.’ I didn’t lose a game after I saw him.” She proceeded to the fourth round of the tournament and eventually won her first Grand Slam. Tennis fans would certainly want to bring Gauff’s favorites at every match during Wimbledon for an extra push!
