Even though she has taken the initiative to try on different sports every week, she has also drawn conclusions regarding where tennis stands her. As a tennis player, she has placed tennis as the best racket ball sport she has ever played. However, it wouldn’t be wrong to say that she can nail any racket ball sport that she tries her hands on.

This is not the first sport she has tried this year. A few months ago, the US Open sensation tried her hands at golf. In addition to adding new sports knowledge to her skill set, she improved her humorous skills by making quips about her own golf prowess.

When Coco Gauff shared about her golf prowess

Earlier this year, to have some relaxed downtime, she tried her hands at golf. However, things didn’t go as well in the golf arena as expected. She took to her Instagram account to share a video of herself playing golf. Not only that, she also highlighted her poor golf skills and wrote, “Gauff but can’t golf.” 

For the third-ranked tennis player, attempting to hit the ball was the hard part, as in the video, rather than hitting the ball, she simply raised her stick in the air, leaving the ball in the same position. However, for the third-ranked tennis player, nothing can beat her love for tennis.

Nevertheless, what are your thoughts on Gauff’s effort to try new sports? Do let us know in the comment section below.
