If you thought Coco Gauff was sulking after being left out of Team USA’s 2025 Billie Jean King Cup Finals squad, think again. The teenage tennis queen just dropped a social bombshell — and fans are spiraling.
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Coco was spotted courtside at a WNBA game, laughing it up with none other than Beyoncé’s stylist and a mystery athlete who may or may not be from the Miami Heat. Yep. While the tennis world was arguing over rankings and rosters, Coco Gauff was out here crafting her own highlight reel.
Wearing an off-shoulder cropped sweater and designer kicks, Coco didn’t just attend — she owned the night. The camera kept panning to her. TikTok caught her dancing during timeouts. Twitter sleuths clocked her courtside convo with fashion royalty. And the caption on her follow-up Instagram post?
“Energy speaks louder than invites.”
Oof. The shade is real.
Commenters lost their collective minds.
“Is that a Billie Jean Cup diss or am I reading too much into this??”
“She’s serving LEWKS and revenge — go off, Queen!”
“She just replaced the Cup with courtside clout.”
It’s giving “you can’t sit with us,” but make it Coco’s version of calm dominance.
This isn’t the first time Gauff’s used fashion and presence to make a point. From her U.S. Open trophy walk in Louis Vuitton to her Met Gala appearance that made even Anna Wintour double-take, she’s got the media eating out of her palm — and she knows it.
But here’s where it gets even juicier: eagle-eyed fans noticed she was wearing Team USA sneakers — the very same ones from last year’s Cup campaign. Was it a nod to the past? A flex to say, “I’m still her”? Or just elite trolling?
Whatever the motive, it worked. Coco’s post racked up over 1.3 million likes in less than a day and became the top trending tennis tweet of the week. Meanwhile, Team USA’s squad reveal barely cracked the top 10.
Yikes.
So what’s next for the 20-year-old powerhouse? Word on the street is she’s already back in light training with her eyes set on the Australian Open. And judging by her vibe right now, she’s not just coming back — she’s plotting a full-blown Gauff Takeover 2.0.
And this time?
No squad. No politics. Just power. 💥🎾👑
