Her father told her that "one you will change the world with your racquet", and she believes him; that's powerful.
She is going be great,she has a lot of time ahead of her.
That's up to her freedom of choice
She comes across so grounded and level headed. She has a good support system around her. I hope she really does well and let tennis take her to imagined and unimagined hgts. Go CoCo.
It’s truly sad how people hate young athletes/people because they overtake/beat their favorite athlete or whatever.. show respect
Coco won't be great playing Venus or Serena one-dimension game from the backcourt. Instead, she must adopt Althea Gipson all-court game and especially mastering the volleying smell of the net in the T-Zone to efficiently end points quickly. The forehand, both forehand and especially the one-hand backhand volleys must improve because of volleying awkwardness of two-handed stroke and both serves must be optimized. Last, Coco must stop idolizing, talking too much and concentrate on delivering court domination swiftly and similarly as Althea Gipson!
william carter idk man why would they root for Serena then? Lol. I just think its hating greatness
she's going to be the greatest she has a lot of greatness in her
Black kids can be engineers, doctors and entrepreneurs too. Not just athletes etc.
The best thing a "black" kid could ever do is choose not to identify as a crayon color.
@@tonyborum7793
Ain't THAT THE TRUTH. Let the self proclaimed victims live in that crayon box.
@@tonyborum7793 This country is the one that separated humans by color.
@@tonyborum7793 I'm Yellow like homer Simpson. Lol I joke. i actually proudly identify as a white crayon
@@tonyborum7793 "Why so serious?" (Joker smile) while pulling out a sharp surgical knife.
This is amazing. What a great story we are all witnessing
you are representing your country, she has has amazing parents.
Stand up proud for that pledge of allegiance
@Original Man That's because you took it from the people that were there long before you. Follow the migration!
Did anyone else watch the Whistle “No days off” segment on her before she got big BIG??
Yep
It’s not just about winning...your true character shows in defeat.
Well said!
You will be the greatest of all time Coco... After the G.O.A.T. of course. Looove you Coco.. You are so mature for your age
Serena’s loss today is a testament of your desire to be the GOAT is a bit premature ... thinking to far ahead of yourself. You need to beat players like Andreescu .... and unfortunately, there are too many of them. And every year, they keep coming. My advice is to simply continue working on your game ... perfecting the technique in your groundstrokes, volleys. Serves, footwork, strength and endurance, and mental toughness .... essentially, everything. Instead of filling your mind with something that’s too far into the future. Serena’s GOAT title was a work/journey in progress. She didn’t bestow it on herself. It was awarded to her.
Great attitude to have! She can do it!
Its a little unwise to say you want to be the greatest of all time at such a young age frankly saying ... its not even good to say you want to be no.1 or win a grand slam... if they are not playing well such words can come back to haunt them mentally with shame and embarrassment .. better to train them to be humble when taking interviews so as not to put too much pressure on themselves later on.. yes they can dream to be the greatest in private but to say it out is not so good ...
@@88feji you have great advise for youngsters. The lure of fame and money blind them of hard work . the media need heroes. How does that happen coco only made the third round at US open and got beat up so bad she cries so a lesson learned. Your talk can come back and bite you. Hingis, Tracy Austin won when they were 16. Coco has time just need to have fun and focus on practice.
In order for a dream to come true a person must first have the dream good luck CoCo.stay focused and anchored at all time. DPitts
Amazing parents of an amazing kid
Rafael Nadal also won very early, and Rafa turned out just fine. So she has a lot of potential. Hopefully a good head on her shoulders and work ethic.
um, there is a lot of people that won early/big match against a ranked player, and then they fell off the ladder. Not saying it would happen to her... but everyone ain't Rafa.
@@indiasupportstrumpwwg1wga927 Its not just a ranked player, its Venus Williams
love this guy.
CONGRATS Coco! All the best! So as farrrrrr as you can!!! Your my little sister..(my head) 🤗😍💯
It will never be another Williams sister's..
The Williams sister's story about how they overcame a disenfranchised life in America at a time when there were kno one like them out there in the world to show, it's possible to becoming one of sports GOATS regardless your placement in life, no matter how high the "glass ceiling" is..
You can change that and break that shit.. 💪🏾
Greater than Serena won't be easy because there are way too many talents today. But it can be done. There is another coco coming up already and we have not seen her. Well done beautiful girl.
She may win one or two titles if lucky that's about it
@ferzy09 Then you have not been following Tennis if you think Serena is the only talent on the tour.
She's very fortunate to come up in the generation after Serena and Venus, blazing a trail.
They have been a great tennis family, but also some mistakes were made she can learn from
Hell, she might be able to talk to them directly, and get some pearls of wisdom
The sky is the limit
The Future Is Here they don’t want to talk to her at least that’s what Serena said
@@christian-gu5oq Ignorance is bliss.
maybe Serena could give her some of her male hormones
@@slavfastovetsky414 you forgot Serna had a baby how she a male
Yes you can be the great. God bless
Hope there are also dreams that can ve realized sooner. Like ONE gs final. Today against Osaka 0-6
Riku Perhoniemi she did very well against the number one player in the world. fuck off.
She will be the bast , she has very good education from family
she is a great tennis player as well.
Great player for such a young age.. Focus on winning more, getting a slam, becoming #1, before talks of becoming the greatest..
RIGHT BECAUSE...STFU if she wants to be the greatest than she can say it...MF's always got some shit to say
Deon Lucas She won a couple of matches and they celebrate too early, for this entitled dude. (I'm sorry, that's a teenage boy).They give them too much media hype and attention and they believe their own lies.
S(he) loses the next round, and they forget about her...all this fuss and hype.
And honestly she's not a very good player, lacks tactical skills, hits the ball too hard just to put on a show for the crowd, instead focusing on the match. Already showing negative traits of entitlement, arrogance. Focusses about popularity rather than focus to become a skilfull player, like Halep, Osaka, Barty, etc..and win titles.
These players fall quickly due to their entitlement, and lack of discipline and frustration because everyone expects her to become the GOAt, but unfortunately other players are way too talented and more grounded than her and give her a reality check.
I'm surprised they didn't celebrate Sloane Stephens, and didn't go crazy over her as they do with this dude, and she's a Grand Slam champion. Why? Because she's a female? Hmmm.. And I like Sloane Stephens, she's such a nice and classy lady.
@@Gdatshim EXACTLY lol. Just because they dont see themselves as amounting to greatness--- doesnt mean others cant attain to such. She is doing matches and if her skills get her there--- she can be what she wants. Kudos!
As a young black female she is intelligent, positive & a good example for other black children to follow. I'm just wondering what 25 idiots disliked this interview. We really live in a sick world. The Sky is the limit CoCo!!!
maybe because she sounds too full of herself... if she won a grand slam and said that then it would be more appropriate
@Tee Gee yea right... get real, stupid media hype for this girl is not going to make her great.
The first time she picked up a racket is 2010. Crazy!!!
Giannis like
No, they started this obsession when she was 8. Watch closer
Love this girl
A young lioness and a champion
Shes about to win it
Drew Goddamn Brees I love that handle !!
The sky's the limit go for it!
@@cherryannwharton2644 the sky is not the limit
I will never understand why people say the sky is the limit
But I hope she wins this!!
@@bekkfist that's my opinion I don't need you to speak for me.
@@cherryannwharton2644 interesting, interesting
Idk why limit yourself to the sky?
GOAT ... sheesh, pull ya head in luv. Be humble, and it will be achieved ... SW was not that cocky at this age. Gotsta keep it real. Pro'ly mama and papa riling her on to dream big. Take a leaf outta of Richard William's book.
Duarua Tolu So her saying that she wants to be the GOAT is cocky!?! I think it’s dope! Also, your much not have seen many of Serena’s old interviews to think she wasn’t as confident as Coco! 😂😂
I applauded her ambition to be the "greatest of all times", however, that title is already been given to Serena Williams and she will ALWAYS be second to the Williams. Good luck on your career, it will be awesome and I enjoy watching you play.
that makes no sense. Coco can be the greatest.
u do realize people can get better right? shes only 15 lol
She needs to win 25 GS. Which is possible considering she is only 16.
@@senges6751 she'll be lucky to win a single slam....she cant beat top 20 players
She may not accomplish it, but she is entitled to dream and believe it. Who wouldn't want to aspire to reach that goal? As quiet as it's kept, many people never gave Serena that well-deserved title either. Many thought she had more to prove to be the greatest, for as good as she was/is. There will ALWAYS be some doubters/disputers/naysayers!
you go girl❤️🙏🏾
Coco Mania, that’s gonna make some lit merch
coco is a silly name
Cocoa Puffs
Well, she's young and all strong, but it's a sports, everyone gets hurt, gets old,
new players come along, and beat the old ones. lol >
She can be called 'greatest of all time, if she gets to the top, stays on the top<
then retire while on top.. ( Like Kobe, he retired while he was in a very great position
Coco won't be GOAT playing Venus or Serena one-dimension game from the backcourt. Instead, she must adopt Althea Gipson all-court game and especially mastering the volleying smell of the net in the T-Zone to efficiently end points quickly. The forehand, both forehand and especially the one-hand backhand volleys must improve because of volleying awkwardness of two-handed stroke and both serves must be optimized. Last, Coco must stop idolizing, talking too much and concentrate on delivering court domination swiftly and similarly as Althea Gipson!
Your first sentence makes no sense considering the fact that both Venus and Serena are all time greats.
She’s going to be one ☝️ of the many greatest female tennis players in the world 🌎 another Serena, Venice.
best-wishes.Coco-you-are-very-talented-beating-venus-Williams-isnt-easy
Your goal is to be “the GOAT” ....... mmmmmmmm, I think that’s a bit premature. It may be what you want, but life rarely gives us what we desire most. I doubt Serena ever said she wanted to be the GOAT. It just happened to her after so many years. You certainly are putting an enormous amount of pressure on yourself. There are also too many “good” players out there. Greatness happens without thinking about it and without bestowing it on yourself. It simply happens. But you’re young and there’s a lot of growing up still to do.
You might not see YOURSELF as great--- you're reality is surely not hers and it has no bearing on how she'll attempt to be the GOAT...im just saying.
Lord Byron Serena always said she wanted to be the best. so not sure what you're talking about. Coco has dreams and should strive for them. not listen to people like you.
Iron Mike 🤣🤣🤣😂😂🤣🤣 Chill out dude!
@@HansumTrini I'm just saying... wait and see, the hype is just that.
Ah poor little girl. She is letting all that media hype get to her head.
One game at a time kid. First try to win small, like a 250 or 500 tournament. Gets one wild card and thinks she's got a permanent shortcut to the slams.
The wild card will end up with someone else next year
@Tee Gee having 0 titles and claiming that she'll beat Serena's record isn't insane? Saying that you want to be the greatest is one thing, but saying that you will be the greatest is too much ego.
All she did was beat a very old and almost retired Venus. Serena is pretty proud of herself, and that's acceptable.
This girl has nothing to be proud of yet
@Tee Gee wimbledon semifinals... Lmao... She lost in the 4th round
You do realize that at 15 she's not able to play in those 250 events because of WTA tour age restrictions right?
@@MultiLvlUp oh yeah. She can't play wta 250 tournaments, so she will 25 grand slams.. nice logic.. I don't understand why people reply to a comment that they don't understand at all
@@TheEaglesnake When did I say she would win 25 grand slams? I was letting you know the rules of the WTA since you are uneducated in the subject. Because if you actually knew what you were talking about you wouldn't have brought up her winning 250 events that's she's not even able to compete in yet. Maybe gain so insight on what you're talking about beforehand instead of making yourself look like an idiot. Just some advice, cheers 👌🏾.
Simmer down Coco!
Gold Aina nope. she's good and knows it. hope she KEEPS this confidence and doesn't listen to people like you.
Coco gauf duplikat dari venus wilims sangat mirip gaya dan mukanya.
💪🏿💪🏿🤞🏿🤞🏿🖤🖤
Quite a goal that is.
Too much pressure put on a young kid. She could end up like Jennifer Capriati.
All I know is Serena could be on the Steelers
All I know is you prolly on dat Kush.
TRUE GENETICS, THANK GOD. THAT'S WHY SHE'S THE GREATEST.
Why don`t you work out like Serena ? Do you have a wimpy body ?
Hope she marries a white man like Serena too
one day ...
She will be very good but never the greatest of all time.There no harm in dreaming
🤢😨 This girl lost in the First round at the Citi Open (singles), Though did she win in the doubles finals 💰.
☠ I'm not too confident that she'll go far in the US open. But I will be cheering her on to win!! 😍
🧐 I predict she'll make the top 40-60 in her prime as a pro tennis player in singles, and perhaps better in doubles.
If you don't believe it you won't achieve it
Hard work is what makes you achieve it
How old She is again?
You enjoy the photos and autographs now, but you won’t ever get any time to yourself again. Very sad side of fame. This reporter thinks it’s great for her, it’s not good for a young person at all.
She only 15.o it's a wrap.
No it's not a wrap. I can name countless prodigies that fell off a cliff when they got older or because of injuries. Too much too soon. Just watch and cheer for her and hope her career pans out.
Serena, better hurry up and get her 25 Championships.
Why serena already has the most grand slams in open era
Follow your sisters that paved the way for you forget all the rest you will be beating them all soon we own this NOW
She wants to stay in the spotlight as long as she can...
LOL. who wouldn't?
k odu - right. Her PARENTS are the ones who want to stay in the spotlight. Kind of like Allen Iverson’s mother being everyone with a huge sign “That’s MY Son!!!”.
She looks 25 tbh
So... what were you doing @ 15?🤔
Living life the best I could and trying to be WELL-ROUNDED. You?
SHE HAS GREAT POTENTIAL TO UPSET SERENA OR EVEN BECOMES THE NEXT SERENA
Serena damn near 40 💀 if she ever beats Serena itll be solely due to the 25 year age gap
@B. Chandler hey u got a nice point!
She doesn't need to become anyone else she just needs to be herself
People idolise these pro athletes and sports too much............... it may come off as seemingly innocent entertainment, but that's how satan operates. He does not always make your sin obvious to you, but it's still sin and you will be judged, Stop idolising these athletes, its idolatry and damnable to hell. God is not a respecter of persons.
Ask yourself, would Jesus be at one of these games cheering on these athletes? Would you be representing Jesus by being at one of these games? What does this do for the kingdom of God's sake? ....... It's complete idleness and idolatry. If this comment offends you then everything I said applies to you.
@Henning Sorensen I respect your response, some people become hostile with a comment like mine, which is because the Holy Spirit convicts them......... you weren't hostile, you seem to be like a reasonable person........ but ill say this, would one need worldly entertainment if they spent more time searching out the joy in Jesus/salvation? The joy in doing the will of the Father is much greater than idle worldly entertainment. You don't want to be in the mix with idol worshippers at a stadium cheering on their idols...... it sends the wrong message and the Bible is clear on this. 2 corinthians 6:14 "Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?"
Good points, rt up to where u made the error of mentioning your invisible friend, which is bullshit...other than that...well done..
And there it goes..
Giving interviews..
Don't believe the hype, focus on your shit
I have that skin in fortnite 🤔
That's a little boy
Great to see black kids excelling in sport but I do not think this is Black and African future. We become set up to do sport and play for White allow them to relax for weekend. Why not in other discipline?
No idea what you mean. Many white girls are dying to be in her place.
GOAT is not achievable, belongs to Federer
Serena actually. But you tried.
@@jstratus88 The tennis world has a different perspective on that :)
Im2good4you More majors. More gold medals. Serena is the GOAT lol!
Jade Stratus Noone cares about Gold medals. Federer is way more important for Tennis compared to serena. He is the biggest star Tennis ever had and will have. And he would smash her 6:0 6:0 in 30 Minutes by the way :)
Im2good4you Federer fans don’t care about gold because he only has 1 LMAO. Keep being delusional. Pathetic.
I see her in the porn industry in 3 years
The interviewer though, is that a Hyena smirk or what is the barring of emotionless teeth?????????
The greatest of all time?What arrogance
Coco good luck. But your expectations is too much and too early. Wish we will find you in winning stand on 2020. Or good bye.
Too early to talk about being the greatest. Not gonna happen zero grand slam....
You have to have goal Mr negative
action speak the loudest. be humble . always focus on your goal quietly
Long way to go! She still has to get through life
Looked she just got skunk by Osaka and Osaka already lost to other girl
Show the man things Venus and Serena what's up.
Gordon Welch get a life.
