American teenager Coco Gauff is quickly becoming more popular with each passing day. Despite being just 17-years-old, Gauff has over 200,000 followers on Twitter to go with her immense success on the court.

In one of her recent interactions on the social media platform, Gauff shared a video featuring French tennis star Gael Monfils.

Despite a loss in form during 2020, Monfils is in much better form in 2021. Although he made early exits in the Australian Open, French Open and Wimbledon, the hard court season shines kindly on the Frenchman.

He reached the quarterfinals of the National Bank Open in Toronto, before losing to John Isner. After that, he reached the last 16 of the recently concluded Cincinnati Open, beating World No. 17 Alex De Minaur in that run. His recent exploits earned him a spot in the Top 20 of the ATP rankings.
