This year, Coco Gauff set a goal to read 24 books in 12 months and has already finished 12. Originally, 12 was her entire target, but upon learning of her boyfriend’s goal of completing 24 books, her competitive spirit drove her to match it.
Speaking to the press at the ecotrans Ladies Open in Berlin, Gauff shared that she is currently two books ahead of her boyfriend.
“[The reading challenge] started because I loved reading as a kid and I kind of lost it when I got older. So at first my goal was to read 12 books, one per month. Then my boyfriend has this thing where he reads the amount of books as the year we’re in, so 24 in 2024, 23 in 2023,” Coco Gauff said.
“So when he said he was going to read 24, I got super competitive and I doubled my goal to match his and I like trying to finish faster than him. I’m two books ahead, so I’m winning right now,” she added.
Top-seed Coco Gauff defeated Ekaterina Alexandrova 7-6(6), 6-2 in the second round to advance to the last eight where she will face Ons Jabeur on June 21. In her doubles campaign with compatriot Jessica Pegula, Gauff lost 6-4, 6-0 to Czech duo Katerina Siniakova and Linda Noskova in the Round of 16.
