Angel Reese of the Chicago Sky demonstrated that she is a genuine girl’s girl by sending words of encouragement to Coco Gauff following her impressive victory at the French Open. It came after the tennis player posted a TikTok video in which she became emotional about the immense love she continues to receive, not only from the sporting community but also from social media. In a brief video, the two-time Grand Slam winner discusses her experience attending a WNBA game to support the New York Liberty. “The whole arena was cheering for me, which I wasn’t expecting because it’s not my sport and I’m at a basketball game,” she added, her eyes welling up simply recalling the event. The 21-year-old described the event as “crazy” and reflected on her realization of being seen. She also offered her gratitude to her fans and supporters. It just made me realize how many people enjoy seeing me,” she said, adding, “I sincerely appreciate you all. Every ‘congratulations.’ Every ‘we love you.’ Every ‘we support you. Every ‘I was rooting for you’ means so much to me.” The comments area was swamped with wonderful feedback from fellow athletes and fans who were moved by Gauff’s vulnerability and impressed by her talent, modesty, and honesty. Reese was among many who congratulated her on her outstanding accomplishment. “WE LOVE YOU CO,” she wrote, and the tennis star replied, “We love you, queen.” Interestingly, before their social media encounter, the two sportsmen shared a brief moment during Tuesday’s Liberty-Sky battle. Gauff was sitting courtside to cheer Sabrina Ionescu’s squad, and the Sky forward made sure to greet her after the game, setting a powerful example of women supporting women.
