Coco Gauff shared a humorous and candid take on playing mixed doubles with Taylor Fritz during the United Cup, joking about how he “would not shut up” during their match. Gauff, known for her playful and down-to-earth personality, was quick to highlight the lighthearted dynamic between the two American players, even in a competitive setting.
Gauff admitted that while Fritz’s constant talking on the court might have been a bit much at times, it didn’t bother her too much, and she even found it entertaining. “Taylor just kept talking, and I was like, ‘Okay, I get it,’” Gauff laughed during an interview, adding that Fritz’s enthusiasm and commentary throughout the match were more amusing than distracting.
Their interaction showcased the fun side of the United Cup, where players compete not only for individual success but also as part of a national team, often leading to moments of camaraderie and levity on court. Despite Fritz’s constant chatter, Gauff emphasized that the partnership was a positive experience, and the two shared great chemistry while representing the U.S.
This kind of banter also reflects the lighter, team-oriented atmosphere of the United Cup, where top players can enjoy the rare chance to compete together in a mixed-gender format. For Gauff, the experience was a mix of serious competition and fun moments, with Fritz’s non-stop talking becoming a memorable part of their time on court together.
