ICHEOKU says her name is Cori Gauff, aka Coco and she is an exceptionally talented tennis player; simply put, a tennis prodigy. She is just 15 years old and defeated a consummate tennis great Venus Williams at the Wimbledon. ICHEOKU says they don't make her likes that many and it is important to remember that Venus also, similarly started playing tennis at a very young age as well.
Young Coco admitted that Venus was her role model, the reason she took to playing tennis and said that she is living her dream by defeating her heroine Venus. In her own words, she said:
"Honestly I don't really know how to feel. This was the first time I ever cried after a match. While winning, obviously. ... I never thought this would happen. I'm literally living my dream right now. And not many people get to say that. I'm just happy that Wimbledon gave me the opportunity to play. I definitely had to tell myself to stay calm. I had never played on a court that big. But I had to remind myself that the lines on the court are the same size. Everything around it might be bigger, but the lines are the same. After every point, I was just telling myself to stay calm."
ICHEOKU says what a wisdom filled talented young woman as she not only played very well, but also spoke very well. ICHEOKU says another tennis great is born, hurrah. Congratulations Coco.
