Coco Gauff Celebrates First Grand Slam Win in Stunning Pink ‘Barbie’ Outfit with Proud Parents

Coco Gauff looked picture-perfect as she posed with her family and the US Open trophy, marking what she described as the greatest night of her life in New York. The 19-year-old, who entered the tournament as the sixth seed, delivered an outstanding performance to secure her first Grand Slam title.

 

Amidst the media frenzy following her victory, Gauff and her family took the opportunity to participate in a photoshoot on the grounds of Flushing Meadows. Dressed in an all-pink ensemble, Gauff shared her excitement on social media, referring to her outfit as “Barbie” and expressing that she felt like she was dreaming.

 

This memorable moment encapsulated not only her triumph on the court but also the joy of celebrating it with her loved ones.

 

In the snaps, her mom Candi and dad Corey can be seen sitting either side, hugging their daughter, while in other pictures Gauff kisses the trophy.

It appeared to be a moment of relative calm among the madness of the day, after she had scooped the huge $3million prize by beating No 2 seed Aryna Sabalenka.

 

Gauff had previously reached the French Open final but had never tasted Grand Slam silverware until Saturday, but at the age of just 19 now has the whole world ahead of her.

 

Speaking on the court after her victory, the American paid tribute to her father – and admitted it was the first time she had ever seen him cry.

 

‘Thank you first to my parents. Today was the first time I’ve ever seen my dad cry,’ she told the packed crowd on Arthur Ashe.

 

It appeared Gauff wasn’t letting go of the trophy in a hurry after beating Aryna Sabalenka

The US Open is Gauff’s first Grand Slam trophy – but will surely not be her last at the age of 19

 

It was an emotional day for the 19-year-old, but she took everything in her stride

 

‘He doesn’t want me to tell y’all that but he got caught in 4K. He thinks he’s so hard. Thank you, guys. You believed in me from the beginning.’

 

‘He was the first person I saw,’ Gauff added after winning the Slam. ‘That moment. I’ll never forget that ever. I’m so happy. That man has supported me through so much.

 

‘People always tried to tear us apart, saying he didn’t need to be in my box or he didn’t need to coach me anymore. Little do they know, he’s the reason I won this match.’
