The company took to their official Instagram account to share the pictures of Gauff wearing the shoes on the court and captioned the pictures, “Last night’s look 👻 In honor of @cocogauff’s favorite holiday, we partnered with artist Travis E. Spinks to design a spooky look for her Halloween debut. Peep the one of a kind Coco CG1.”

They were a standard pair of black shoes with shimmering Red and Green beams emanating from them. Her entire outfit made an impression on the tennis court because she was wearing a jacket that matched her sneakers. Gauff, who is ranked number four in the world, donned those for her WTA Finals debut.

In her first match in the WTA Finals, she was defeated by Caroline Garcia. After a five-year break, the French tennis player returned to her best form this year. The 29-year-old defeated the 18-year-old in the initial round and lost her second match against world No. 1 Iga Swiatek.

The world number four gave it her all to stay in the match, but Garcia won the match in straight sets. In her second match, she again tasted defeat. This time, at the hands of Russian star, Daria Kasatkina. Her second straight set loss has significantly diminished her chances of making it to the semifinals of the WTA Finals. On Sunday, she will take on Iga Swiatek in her third group stage match.

Do you think Coco Gauff can finally get the better of the world no.1 this time around?
