Coco Gauff Cleverly Dodges the Bullet That Put Rafael Nadal in Soup While Addressing Paris Olympics Priorities

If someone asked you what would be on the top list for a tennis star from this list: Grand Slam, being World No.1, winning the Olympics and the doubles Grand Slam. How do you think a tennis player would arrange them in the hierarchy from top priority to the relatively least important? Rafael Nadal has already answered questions to an extent, and tennis fans weren’t really pleased with his response.

And now comes the young and energetic, youngest flag bearer in the USA’s history: Coco Gauff! Will fans relate to her answer? Let’s dive in to find out!

The heartwarming decision by the USA to shoulder the young Gauff with the responsibility of leading the contingent surprised many greats. While the youngster is all set to represent her country and sports in Paris, she had one question to tackle. The answer to which has even led Nadal to trouble. What does she prioritize in tennis? Without mincing her words, the 20-year-old was clear with eagle-eyed focus on the Grand Slam as she said, “I would say sure, singles Grand Slam is number 1 thing/ goals.”

Now for the 2nd and the 3rd place in the list, what comes next, the World No.1 or the Olympics? Those places are reserved for Olympics Gold and World No.1 in that order and not the other way around. She further said, “Actually, I would pick the Olympics medal for me personally over number 1 ranking. At least a gold medal. I don’t know about silver or bronze.” And there is more to her list, as it also has a fourth place assigned to “the doubles grand slam.”
