Coco Gauff Announced First Pregnancy with Boyfriend Ben Shelton

Tennis involves rivalries, friendships, and a variety of ties. The WTA and ATP tennis players’ friendship has always been viewed differently, with each side making their own friends on their respective tours. But now the younger generation is ready to change the equation with their special friendship formula across the ATP and WTA. In a similar vein, talented tennis players Coco Gauff and Ben Shelton openly express their friendship both on and off the court.

Their friendship even sparked relationship rumors while they were competing in the US Open. But rather than reacting to the ludicrous dating rumors, the great pair recently engaged in some lighthearted G.O.A.T. banter.

Recently, both American tennis sensations made it to the semifinals of the US Open, while Gauff even won her first title, making their country proud. After their spellbinding US Open journey, the 20-year-old tennis player took to his Instagram account to share some of his great moments from the US Open and wrote, “Back to the lab, See ya next year NYC.”

In that post, the 2023 US Open champion dropped a motivating comment for her friend. She wrote, “Only getting started,” followed by a fire emoji. In no time, Shelton replied to the comment with an ultimate statement for the new US Open Queen and stated, “@cocogauff ur the goat.”

However, that was not all. Just a day after this post, the ATP star also shared a video on his Instagram account focusing on his dialed-in victory celebration. The sixth-ranked tennis player also commented on the post and appreciated the victory celebration, saying, “hard.”
