Teenage sensation Cori “Coco” Gauff continues to enjoy her Wimbledon outing and Michelle Obama has taken notice. The tennis prodigy has continued to tick all the right boxes and the social media is buzzing with her achievement. It seems everyone is watching her as her story continues to unfold.
Her life changing experience reached another peak when former first lady Michelle Obama twitted about her. Ecstatic Coco revealed the best-selling author of ‘Becoming’ is one of her role models. “It was just super cool to see that she knows I exist”, she said. “

The tweet “Coco is terrific” was posted after she lost her mixed doubles first round match on Saturday. It’s not like they talk personally or she has her number or anything but wouldn’t mind a more personal relationship with her idol.
Gauff teamed up with Clarke who snubbed his partner Dart to play with the 15-year old. Meanwhile, many already consider the teen a big name and a champion.

For Gauff, two highlights this week are rapper, Jaden Smith and Michelle Obama twitting about her. This left the Instagram post by Beyoncé’s mother, Tina Knowles, relegated even though she wouldn’t mind attending a Beyoncé concert.
The teenage sensation will continue her campaign tomorrow in a last-16 face-off with former world number one, Halep.
