“I Got To Stay Protected With…” Coco Gauff Drops an Unexpected but Amusing GRWM As She Gears Up for the Clay Season
Coco Gauff’s Hilarious GRWM Video and Her Exciting New Sneaker Launch as She Prepares for the Clay Season
Coco Gauff may be facing a bit of a slump on the court recently, but off the court, she remains the undisputed Gen Z queen. After her memorable victory over Belinda Bencic at the 2025 Australian Open, Gauff made headlines with a cheeky “Rip TikTok USA” message on the camera, a playful jab at the potential TikTok ban in the U.S. She’s known for her humor, often flooding the American players’ group chat with memes, and has even shared a selfie tutorial at the Indian Wells tournament. Now, her latest Instagram post gives fans another glimpse into her funny, relatable side.
Though her 2025 season hasn’t gone as planned, with early exits in Qatar, Dubai, and Indian Wells, Coco is maintaining her positive, playful attitude. Her latest GRWM (Get Ready With Me) video on Instagram is a perfect example of this. In the video, Coco begins with, “Hey everyone, get ready with me to go to practice. First, I need to pack my running shoes and, of course, stay protected with sunscreen.”
But things quickly take a turn toward the hilarious when comedian Andrew Rousso, dressed as a ball boy, steps into the scene. As Coco grabs her smoothie, Rousso dashes to fetch it for her — but in a moment of perfect comedic timing, he slips and falls straight into a swimming pool. Gauff, unphased, casually asks, “Are you okay?” before continuing, “Of course, I’ve got to keep my racket. See you at the court.” She then tosses her bag over her shoulder, only for one of her shoes to tumble out, adding to the chaos.
Speaking of shoes, Gauff recently celebrated her 21st birthday with the launch of her third signature sneaker, the Coco Delray, in partnership with New Balance. The sneaker is part of a deeper, more personal story. The campaign is narrated by Coco’s grandmother, Yvonne Lee Odom, the first Black student to integrate a public school in Delray Beach, Florida — Coco’s hometown. This drop isn’t just about a new pair of sneakers; it’s about honoring a legacy.
When Coco isn’t playing tennis or promoting her sneakers, she’s sharing her off-court style. This week, she posted a video of herself cruising around South Florida in her Porsche, with Frank Ocean’s “Swim Good” playing in the background. Captioning the video, “Love South Florida,” Coco gave fans a glimpse into her luxury car collection, which includes a Porsche, Mercedes-Benz GLC, and Jaguar F-Pace SVR. Her dad, she says, gifted her the first car when she turned 18 — though she admits she wasn’t exactly eager to start driving.
As for her tennis career, Coco is now turning her focus to the clay season. She’s gearing up for the Porsche Tennis Grand Prix, set to begin on April 14, where the winner drives home with a brand-new Porsche. Could another Porsche be added to her collection?
