Yes, and while the Williams sisters have been her idols, her demeanor certainly is opposite theirs (especially Serena), which makes it all the more pleasant!

Loren - in Beautiful Baguio


Serena, Nadal, and a few others seem to have two different personalities - one for the court/competition and another for personal interaction. On the other hand, the "prince", Federer manages to be delightful no matter where he is. So far, Coco is like Fed.

I agree, she's a breath of fresh air. Our Ash Barty is a similar example. Worked very hard to get up there & both show very humble down to earth characteristics. None of the crap that our two men are displaying currently. They're an embarrassment to Australia.
But yes, I think we'll be seeing lots more of Coco. Beautiful girl.


I understand how they affect you. The U.S. has had its share of "bad boys". Mcenroe, Connors and a few others had behavior issues on the court.

Coco is a joy, and mature well beyond her age. I just hope she goes slow, so the pressure of her fame does not burn her out, as has happened to many other young stars. From what I can see, her dad and mom will help keep her grounded.

For the sake of women's sports and for the girls and women who sacrifice and train for years that transgender participation does not change the face of "women's sports". Young girls are now finding themselves losing out on setting records in their sport and scholarships that would otherwise go to biological women and not biological men competing against them.

This maybe the passing of the torch to the next generation of players.

Yes, I think so too! They seem like fantastic parents.

Might be, Frank. There are a few teen tennis phenoms on the scene, particularly girls.

No, not cocoa! I love the the 15 yr. old tennis Phenom! She's been around for a while - ranked as the top female Jr for over a year, but now she's playing the "big women" and so far succeeding. GO COCO!!! You are an absolute joy in my life!

I've "religiously followed tennis since I was introduced to it by my Uncle when I was 11. Ken Rosewall, John Newcomb, Margaret Court, Stan Smith, ... were among my first heroes. Now, Roger Federer, Raphael Nadal, Simone Halep, Serena, ...

Anxiously awaiting Coco (and all the others) in the 3rd & 4th round matches. I record the entire sessions and watch later with my wife while zipping through the commercials.

If you are watching, send some good energy to your favorites,

Have to see how humble she remains with success.

She has already achieved success. I think she is grounded and has formed values that will sustain her attitude with continued success.
