American tennis star Coco Gauff is unapologetically herself both on and off the court.

Gauff is less than a month removed from winning the French open final. She defeated Aryna Sabalenka in a wild three-set match to claim her second career major title. In 2023, she defeated Sabalenka in the US Open final.

After capturing her first French Open title, Gauff was asked what it’s like representing the United States everywhere she goes. Her response was awfully impressive.
