Coco Gauff thinks her choice is out of the blue

When asked the question about who would be the most ideal road trip partner from the ATP Tour, the 17-year-old American giggled and said that her choice was rather out of the blue. She chose Greek Stephanos Tsitsipas from the lot, saying that their conversations were likely to be rather interesting.

“Honestly, this is probably like an out-of-the-blue one, but I think Stefanos… Because I just feel like will have some interesting conversations. He is a very interesting guy, I think could learn stuff from him. Not about tennis but about life in general you know. His Instagram captions always intrigue me and I guess that’s why I want to dig deeper as to why he captions his photos that way,” she said.

The Greek World No. 5 is also preparing for his second-round match at the Indian Wells. In a pre-tournament interview, he seemed happy to report that he was not feeling any pain in the elbow. He had had surgery on the same elbow, back in November, which forced him to withdraw from the ATP Finals. But Tsitsipas, who will take on Jack Sock in the second round at Indian Wells, expressed that he has had a miraculous recovery.
