Sha’Carri Richardson Sends Out a Powerful Message to 19-Year-Old Coco Gauff After Her Epic US Open Win

The world of sports is a nest of camaraderie. Cheering for each other’s success has long been the norm, and the catch is in the cross-section of sports disciplines. Sha’Carri Richardson‘s excellence in the World Athletics Championships received acclaim from NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal. Similarly, doing her bit, the track star seized the opportunity to hail Tennis sensation Coco Gauff for recently lifting the trophy.

Marking her victory in the US Open women’s final, Gauff’s joy was beyond limits. Hence, the 100m World Champion added to the merriment with a personalized token of appreciation. Richardson took to social media, expressing her pride for the new U.S. Open champion with an ardent message.

Sha’Carri Richardson’s dazzling support for Coco Gauff

On September 12, Sha’Carri Richardson poured her love for Coco Gauff on social media. Richardson reposted 19-year-old Coco Gauff’s Instagram post after the latter’s win at the U.S. Open. Gauff had posted a picture of herself in an all-pink outfit holding the trophy proudly.

The caption of the Instagram story read, “Barbie Dreams.” That’s not all, going by the theme, Richardson left a three-worded heartwarming note for the young champ.

“Shine Lovely Shine,” wrote Sha’Carri Richardson resharing Gauff’s post. It was also accompanied by a pink flower emoji. The caption could not have been more apt given Gauff’s performance in the finals of the U.S. Open. She started with a loss in the first set against the World No. 1, Aryna Sabalenka but was able to secure a dazzling victory at the end, winning three back-to-back sets (2-6, 6-3, 6-2).
