Coco Gauff Credits Serena Williams And Venus Williams: Both of us are products of their legacy"




“That was so important and my parents definitely pushed history on us; to know the history of the world and history of African-Americans was super important”.


Coco Gauff has credited Serena Williams and Venus Williams following her round of 32 win at the San Diego Open on Wednesday. Gauff, competing for the first time since losing in the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open, defeated fellow American teenager Robin Montgomery in what was her first career match against an opponent younger than herself. 


The more experienced 18-year-old came out on top, winning the match 6-3, 6-3 to progress to the next round. Speaking after her win, Gauff stated that both Montgomery and herself were products of the Williams sisters' legacy. "I mean, it definitely affects the future a lot. 


I think if Serena and Venus saw this today, two 18-year-olds, both African Americans, playing on the WTA 500 level, I think they'll be proud and I think both of us are products of their legacy," she said. Gauff also added that she was grateful to have such examples to follow growing up and hoped to inspire the next generation like the Williams sisters did. 


"I'm grateful that I had those examples to follow after and I hope that I can maybe be an example myself," she said. Incidentally, Venus Williams recently revealed that her parents pushed “definitely pushed history” on both herself and her sister Serena Williams. 


“For us, it was always important to know where you are, who you are because if you don’t know who you are, you won’t know where you’re going. But most of all, if you don’t know who you are in your history, you’ll have no idea what you need to do to be ready for the world,” she said.


“That was so important and my parents definitely pushed history on us; to know the history of the world and history of African-Americans was super important,” she added.

"You've made it to the Hood": Patrick Mahomes congratulates Travis Kelce on proposing to pregnant girlfriend Kayla Nicole

Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce's breakup with Kayla Nicole has become public in recent weeks.  The status of their relationship was questioned for months. It's now official that the two have ended their five-year relationship. Nicole took to TikTok last week and called herself stupid for believing Kelce would propose to her after five years of dating. The two met on social media after the Chiefs tight end followed her and started liking her pictures. After a few months she decided to slide into his DMs. Unfortunately things came to an end for them earlier this year. The rumors at the time of their split was that they broke up because Travis made her pay for half of everything, despite his healthy NFL salary. Kayla denied those rumors. While Kayla might be spending time looking back at their relationship, the seven-time Pro Bowler is preparing for his 10th NFL season. He’s within striking distance of 10,000 yards receiving for his career and is looking to add another

Here are 15 pictures of Serena Williams that will dazzle you

Serena Williams accidentally flashed her knickers today when she suffered an embarrassing wardrobe malfunction while out and about in New York. The dazzling tennis icon stepped out in the spring sunshine today to run errands in New York City.  The former world’s number one female tennis player showcased her toned pins in a stylish shirt dress which she teamed with a pair of metallic red stilettos during the outing. Sometimes I am tempted to think Serena is a little too buff but then again she’s a tennis player and being an athlete requires that kind of super toned body! There’s this example of Serena Williams playing in the water with her friends while enjoying a day at the beach in South Florida.  We’re not going to pretend as if Serena’s body is more important than her tennis prowess, but it is still incredibly impressive. The fact is, Serena Williams doesn’t have a “best feature” — her entire body is immaculate, engineered to dominate and kick ass no matter the circumstances.
