Having played a couple of exhibition matches at the Citi Open in Washington last week, Gauff was asked by the ATP Tour social media which men’s player she would like to befriend. When the 17-year-old named Kyrgios, it propelled the Aussie to ask the youngster for a possible mixed doubles partnership at the Australian Open - to which she enthusiastically replied, “Let’s make it happen”.
During a press conference ahead of her National Bank Open campaign in Montreal, Coco Gauff was asked to share her thoughts on playing mixed doubles at the Australian Open. The American revealed that she got to know of Kyrgios’ tweet through her agent, before expressing hope of turning her dream into reality at Melbourne next year.
Elaborating further on the possibility of a partnership with Kyrgios, the French Open quarterfinalist added:
Coco Gauff went on to recall how she met Nick Kyrgios at the Miami Open when she was just 13, and how the two had had a hit together.
In addition to her respect for Nick Kyrgios, Coco Gauff’s admiration for Roger Federer is also well-known. Most recently, the World No. 24 wished Federer on his 40th birthday, where she called the Swiss the “ultimate icon in tennis”.
