How Coco Gauff fans wanted to 'strip her of everything' after Citi Open career milestone




Coco Gauff revealed that fans in Washington wanted to “strip her” of all of her possessions after winning the biggest title of her career.


The American teenager downed Maria Sakkari to reach a new milestone - her first WTA 500 trophy. And after the victory, she was forced to turn down requests from spectators who wanted her jewellery and shoes.


Gauff picked up her second title of the season and her fourth overall on Sunday as she was crowned the champion of the Mubadala Citi DC Open. The world No 7 beat last year’s champion Liudmila Samsonova and Olympic gold medallist Belinda Bencic in emphatic fashion en route to the final.


There, she needed just 84 minutes to defeat Sakkari and lift the trophy, and she took the time to say thanks to her many fans after the win - stopping for virtually every autograph.


Asked about her kind gesture after the match, the 19-year-old admitted that some supporters tried to strip her of everything while asking for some special gifts.


“For me it's really important, and I think about, you know, I don't know how much the ticket prices cost or anything, but for people to pay money to see me and wait after the trophy ceremony in this heat, to ask for an autograph, I try to sign as many as I can,” Gauff said of her decision to stop for everyone.

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

Image
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.
