congrats coco
Love u Venus this isn't possible without the Williams sisters but yes Coco is going on her own path that you laid a foundation for 💜
Exactly Venus you and Serena set this up for Coco.
The Venus Williams? ❤❤❤❤
I LOVE THE WILLIAMS SISTER FOR PAVING THE WAY FOR COCO❤❤
Thank you Venus.... definitely paved the way and will continue to inspire generations
Dad and Mom deserved the tears! It was a family victory! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@pianist-yx6ot I hope you have a great day and bring some positivity into this world and get blessed as well.
@@pianist-yx6ot you say this on alot of coco's post. I'm soo glad that u watch her tho. She's taking up space in your dizzy head & shattered little heart for free. SO THAT MEANS Haha COCO WINS AGAIN !!
She’s a lesson for all of us and I think we all get it.
Parenting counts!
Personal integrity counts!
Failure counts.
Steadfastness counts.
Gracefulness in victory counts.
Knowing where your blessing comes from and being thankful (not angry) for the process COUNTS!
In the midst of a loud, rude, disrespectful world, she brings the opposite!
Your comment is priceless
😍 😍😍
What a beautiful and wonderful comment, no lies detected 🙂
❤
Well said!
Well said, thank you.
Her Dad letting go of his ego and letting another training team in, was the genius move. It clearly helped. And respects to her Dad for realizing she needs someone else to raise her level. And she did. Super poud!
Richard paved the way!
Yeah, I posted that unless a different coach comes in....she will never do well.
Considering that in this tournament, she had the referi against E mertel .
As well as protester never seen disrupt a tournament in years and rhythm of Muchova & Savalenka.
Ummm it wasnt his ego, first it was kinda finances and someone she could trust to why he was coaching her. Then when she got older snd better he searched around a coach for her. Tennis is not cheap and Pere didbnot have a lot of experience but she started getting comfortable around him. And finding BG kijda fell in their lap as he was giving pointers and offered to help
I think ALL of us who are parents who watched Coco felt a sense of pride and admiration. What a mature and beautiful young woman. Her parents did an outstanding job raising her.
YES!!!
I am not a parent and had the same sense of pride and admiration.
I couldn’t have said it better. As a mother, you can see the way she carries herself, that she was (is) being raised, and not dragged up. Time and correction is not only put into her tennis. But also into her as a human and what that means to be a good person.
That's for responsible parents who take care of their kids like her dad and mom. The irresponsible dads (and moms) who abandon their kids should be guilty and ashamed of themselves. Let this be a motivation for such parants to reach out and restart before it becomes too late.
This is so racist for the Today Show to bring the black family chicken!! Ughhh makes my blood boil!!!!
This is why it’s so important for kids to have well adjusted parents in their lives. Coco has a wonderful family support structure and they’ve created not just a terrific tennis player but a beautiful and level headed young woman. Well done!
Yes it is. It requires patience, dedication, understanding, discipline etc. It's hard work to be parents and raise well adjusted children.
@@beverlyanngilbert4794 absolutely
That's also why you shouldn't have kids unprepared to go the full distance, both parents are preferable.
@@theramden6025that's also why people shouldn't force us to have kids until we're ready 😂
Wow coco I am so happy for you,
Mature, Poised, Humble, Beautiful Soul, Loves God.... so incredible and I am so thrilled for this entire family. So proud of this young lady. Mama Guaff is always praying in the stands... love it. Paps Guaff and Mama Guaff raised an amazing women.
Mama Goof... 😂
By far, her two greatest weapons are her speed and composure. The composure part, especially for her age, is nothing short of miraculous. Congrats, Coco!!!
Her greatest weapon in her mind.
Corey and Candi raised a great kid. The United States of America is so proud of you, Coco. A great role model. I can't wait to watch the rest of your career.
At least she isn’t one of those January 6 patriots who stormed The Capitol Building.
@@pianist-yx6ot BLM is a good cause, The Orgnization was run by corrupt people. Capitalism corrupts
Nothing wrong with being A Activist and be the voice of the Voiceless, and those that Society deemed disposable, Love God and your neighbor as yourself
AMEN 🙏 TO THAT
@@pianist-yx6ot what is wrong with BLM ?
Well done Coco, very proud of you young lady. Keep shining
She is so sweet and humble. I've been cheering Coco on for years, so to see her dominate this summer and then when the US Open just had me crying with pride like she was my child. Congratulations COCO!!!!
But we now know she has some bite in her too the way she ripped the bark off of that umpire for failing to do her job. She said not today. Period.
Win*
Miss Coco is a beautiful, gracious champ! A fine example for a lot of young people ❤
Words can't express the joy we all have for this young lady!!!
It might be time for a vision check.
@@pianist-yx6ot Are you starting elementary school???..6 yrs old..or less???
@pianist-yx6ot ....you need your lenses adjusted or it's just jealousy speaking......
That yellow is so beautiful on her. She's 19 but she still looks like 12. Grace and class personified.
She’s so sweet and humble. Love this for her!
One of the best things to happen to women’s tennis Coco has clearly dedicated for young life to the sport, humble well spoken & clearly been brought up with high morals a testament to her parents who probably sacrificed a lot over the years. With both Osaka and Radacanu returning it’s going to be a very interesting 2024 - don’t think Swiatek is going to dominate anymore with such a strong field
OSAKA is done. Raducanu is not good and obviously a one hit wonder. She's done nothing since the Fluke.
It would be nice to see Osaka fight back to the top. Swiatek is ALWAYS going to be a fighter. Dont count out Sabalenka. She won the Australian Open. She has the power but needs to mix in more finesse and control. Either way, we're blessed to see great tennis.
I am over the top overflowing with happy tears for Coco and team ❤🇺🇲....BUT!
Lol I can say at the same: Aryna is still on the rise. That woman is such a raw individual --she doesn't hesitate and shows the world her vulnerabilities and shows accountability.
For me the US Open Women's final represented the women of today. Some things like skin color and ethnicity I find irrelevant--some ppl bring that up and yeah
Ok awesome comment Hart Gemini 007
Edit: When Coco spoke about seeing V&S Williams as idols and seeing herself, that was the best way to rightfully so bring up melanin but those ppl (youtube comments )always finding way to pit melan vs other melanin content is.....ugh
@@miguelcunanan9855 Miguelito...Go away!!!
All the love for Coco, I absolutely adore her!
No lie, she looks like Katniss at the end of the first movie
So proud of Coco!
Every interview I've seen her in, she's been fantastic. Not only a great player, but great in media! She'll for sure be doing commentary after she retires.
Wow do you think she'll run for president too LOL
@@user-mx3tl3bh9n Why not..she's still so young though,...by the way you seem sarcastic and impolite!!
Coco looks like a ray of light!! Beautiful!! Another inspiring athlete!! It's your time!! Congratulations!!!
She’s smart, talented, articulate, confident, well-mannered and her dad’s twin! Congrats Coco, you are a breath of fresh air! More to come!🎊🎉🍾💕🙌🏽
expect anything less?
I remember 6 years ago when a good friend of mine told me about her and said the US has a tennis prodigy and I think they are going to try and build her as the face of women's tennis. That was when she was 13 and now here we are.
Congratulations you lady. I am now 69 years old and I remember what my dad who is no longer here wrote in my 8th grade memory book. "Do your task weather big or small,do it well or not at all. Young lady you demonstrated that.❤❤❤❤❤❤
🤗
Such an awesome player. She felt to her knees and thanked God.🙏🏽🙏🏽♥️
I wasn’t able watch the match , I had to work but i watched the highlights once I got home and I was filled with excitement ! I’m so proud of her !
Watching Coco's post-victory interview has left me feeling incredibly tender-hearted. From the discussion surrounding the prayer Coco offered after her win to this moment of triumph, everything couldn't have been more perfect. Coco stands as a testament to the unwavering dedication, hard work, and resilience that she and her family have invested in her dreams. Congratulations to Coco on this grand achievement!!
🏆 CONGRATS COCO on winning your first Grand Slam title at the US Open at just 19 years of age and beating the number 1 player in the world in the final. You DID IT 🥹🙌🏽😀👊🏽😊🙏🏽🎾🎾🎾
100% rigged
@@user-mx3tl3bh9nhow? It’s practically impossible to do so.
@@user-mx3tl3bh9nno... Sabalenka was just awful, while Coco was pushing so hard and almost not missing at all last 2 sets.
@@keiwon.x.lambert Are you kidding it's impossible for a player to throw match making errors it's very easy it's been done for centuries in basketball and football the Super Bowl rigged 100% rigged
@@keiwon.x.lambert Google the Super Bowl being rigged it's very possible happens all the time tennis matches are rigged there was one player that was betting on his own matches happens all the time silly
What a great kid (champion), and what a great family (her mother looks like her sister). Way to go Coco. Keep it up and God bless you and you're lovely family!
Her mother looks like a serious minded grown up not 19. There is no confusion in that household about who is the mother and who is the 19 year old
What a fine young lady!! Congratulations to Coco and her parents. A well deserved champion 🎉
She’s worked so hard for so long. Tough, when you’re so good, and realizing how hard it actually is to get there.
So proud of her. Every time I view her interviews I tear up. She has worked so hard for her accomplishments. Continue to pray. You know from where your strength comes from. Congratulations!!!
The parents provide the soil so that the seeds can grow.
Keep growing Coco!💛💛💛💛💛💝
Absolutely. They have done a great job.
Great comment
Such a Beautiful Family 💙💙💙 Seeing her mother’s reaction to her winning brought tears to my eyes, and warmed my heart. Not everyone in life gets to experience that type of love. Family is so important, they’re your first love 💙🙏🏾
Agree with you on this.
Mom and Dad hats off to you not only raising a champion but a classy young lady that ALL young girls can inspire to be the best they can be.
I know grandma also had a hand in it….
I was surprised she was American. They seem like a Nigerian family
@@suezcontours6653I am a Nigerian so I should take it as compliment, but honestly, let African-Americans have their shine. Before the era of media image rubbishing ( both self induced and media manufactured ) these were a persevering, talented and dignified people, who survived against all odds. I am glad that Coco is portraying the image of AA’s that existed during my childhood.
@@suezcontours6653 as an American, you should be proud of her victory...
@@gustavodeugarte9460 I m proud of her for being American. It's just that black Americans have not shown this kind of pride and unity for the black family. ALL you see are mixed couples. So I thought she was African.
You can see how a disciplined child can elevate the whole family; Coco is a typical example. It is not hard to see how happy the Gauff family is. This happiness is translating to their daughter's, and hopefully too, and other childten's success in life.
That is a balding man
Delightful, amazing and wonderful Coco with her phenomenal parents who didn't clip her wings but let her fly. See her mom giving her daughter all the credit even though we all know she's a phenomenal mom as well as her dad. Hopefully parents can learn a thing or two from their amazing parenting style.
Congratulations Coco! We are soooo proud of you! 🤗💖
Crying tears of joy. Such a very well spoken and beautiful young lady. Congratulations!!
Coco looks incredible in yellow
Doesn't she though? If I had a daughter, Coco is exactly who I would want her to be.
@@el.aye.bee.4477 Love you COCO ! and you guys forget one thing watch what's going to happen since she mentioned Chick fil-A she's going to be the face for it and they might ask her to endorse the restaurant another deal for her to make more money way to go COCO I remember serena and venus williams did it for McDonalds when they mentioned it years ago on Oprah winfrey show How much they love McDonalds.
Absolutely.
She is a cutie pie. So is her mom.
So proud of you, Coco! ❤
Congratulations! 🎉
LETS GOOO COCO!!! Congrats on your well deserved win! the USA has a lot of problems but times like these I’m proud to be American.
Her parents have raised such a beautiful well rounded young lady… congratulations to all!!
What a wholesome interview ❤
COCOOOOO!!!! You are amazing and a true inspiration for us all and especially young girls. You rock!
Congratulations Coco. Your parents are wonderful!
Congratulations Coco! What an amazing finale! My Mom (86 yrs old) & I have watched you throughout your career. We wish you the best always. You're COCO CHAMPION!🤗🥰💖💖🎉🎉👏👏👏
“She definitely caught the Holy Ghost.” 😅 Beautiful family. Glad the hosts brought on the parents and the end.
Congratulations Coco!!!!!!!!! Coco is so beautiful inside and out. Her parents are wonderful I just love this sporting family. Great job guys.
Coco you are amazing and I am looking forward to following your career for the next 20 years! Congratulations 🎉🎈 my friend!
So proud of you young lady God bless you and your amazing family
Beautiful sister dress like a princess. This is how our sisters should attire themselves.
Absolutely . Classy and Sassy.
Tiana!
So proud of you Coco. Congratulations 👏
I am happily moved whenever I see clips of Coco and her parents (especially her dad). I have a 18-year old daughter who is leaving for college in a few days and watching the Gauffs really hits home. Such a beautiful family.
Congratulations Coco Caught! As a parent , I was very happy to see a young beautiful woman is talented. Coco you are going to win many Grand Slams in the future. We pray to God for him to give you strength and to continue to win more Grand Slams. May God bless you. Yes prayers work.
What a beautiful chick-a-dee! Well spoken and a great sportswoman! Love her energy! Great win! 💯🏆🎾❤️
You're a wonderful crow-a-dee! All tough with no flavor but showing love that's nice of you... 🤣😂😭😭😭❤️
Ahahaha chickadee she is such the American Sweetheart
Salute to her family! Woman of Christ also! I'm such a fan ❤🇺🇲🇺🇲
Excuse me, Mr. Tweedle Dumb! I'm not familiar with what a chick-a-dee is, but I certainly appreciate the talent of this beautiful young lady. your comment would have been more appreciative if you had worded it differently, without elements of unnecessary micro, aggression and if left the part out referring to her as a chickadee? And saying how well spoken she is, as though your surprised that a black person knows how to speak well….You simply could’ve said, "What a beautiful and talented young lady! I love her energy. Great win!" It could have been as simple as that! 🤦🏽♀️🙄
Class.....! Unpretentious, Healthy and positive.... What's expected of the United States of America..!
To make America 🇺🇸 great again !!!!
She's so gorgeous and talented..and her parents are great too.. congratulations CoCo 🎉👏🏾
She looks so pretty and I am extremely happy for her . She even looks like Serena . She's so talented and humble . Great parents and Congradulations CoCo. !! ❤💯🌺
