- Some days I wanna look like I belong in a metal band
and then some days I wanna look like
I belong in a flower field.
So, just depends on what I feel like that day.
[upbeat electronic music]
Hey, Vogue, I'm Coco Gauff
and I'm playing a match today here at the Atlanta Open.
Come spend the day with me.
I think for sure, being in Atlanta
will bring a lot of energy for me,
cuz I dunno I haven't been back in a while.
This is where I grew up and started tennis
and I have a lot of familiar people gonna be in the crowd.
I don't workout every day
but I would say almost every day.
Pretty much six days out the week.
Now because I workout so much
that when I do have a day off I don't want to do anything.
Most of the time, the most amount
of days I usually get is around like three.
So, I usually don't work out in those three days.
Maybe like a yoga or something, but I don't like yoga,
but I just do it 'cause I know it's good for you.
[upbeat piano music]
You might wanna, cause I'm gonna swing.
That might be, yeah.
Just to be safe.
[midtempo guitar music]
We'll have a lot of stuff for today.
We're actually about to go head to a New Balance meeting.
So let's go.
- How's it going? - What's up?
Hey, nice to see you. - Good to see you too.
Hi. Nice to see you.
Good, and you? - I'm doing good.
Yeah we're gonna have to take you
through some things today
and show you our run of show of color apparels.
- All right.
One of your favorite inspirations, that day.
I think my favorite ones were these.
I like the superhero.
You guys know that.
And then the rings,
putting in fun color or mixing different textures.
So this is actually my favorite part,
when people ask me about my shoe that I've shown.
Obviously no one's seen this one yet.
My favorite is my brother's names on the laces
and then also the basketball and the track on the back
of the shoe for my parents.
And then the "you can change the world with your racket"
quote is definitely one I've said a lot.
When I first said it didn't think it would end up on a shoe
but, it's pretty cool.
I feel like I like a sporty, stylish type of vibe.
I like to be comfortable.
I like wearing sneakers and I like baggy comfortable stuff.
Some days I wanna look like I belong in a metal band
and then some days I wanna look like I belong
in a flower field.
So, just depends on what I feel like that day.
- It feels uncomfortable, just pretend.
Does that feel good?
- Yeah, it does. - Okay.
- [Stylist] Like the civvies that you play in,
so the first two--
- I just finished up my review with New Balance
and now I'm about to go eat lunch with my family.
It's not often I see my whole family that much,
especially my brothers.
I don't see them as much.
So that's why we brought them on this trip
and trying to spend as much time with them as possible.
Well, I'm gonna take this piece.
Can I have it?
- So she cut her piece. [laughs]
[Corey screaming]
- [Corey] [indistinct] and Wolverine wanna wait.
- I thought you said you help me.
- I am helping you. - Now she finna cut his plate.
- [Mom] Coco what tournament was that in,
when they were yelling at the gate?
- She was nine at the time,
and it's uncommon for people to be cheering
and shaking the gate every time the kid missed.
And they clearly preferred the other girl.
They wanted her to win over Coco.
It was just me and her and they were walking
around with the trainer but nobody could be louder than me.
- Yeah. My dad was the only person
in the stands really cheering for me
- And I was being loud. - He was like,
you're the greatest to do it. - I said,
you're the greatest of all time.
Don't worry about it.
The only ones cheering against you are the ones you beat,
and the ones you gonna beat.
- Practice is the reason why I've gotten to this level.
A lot of practice, a lot of hours,
a lot of good days, bad days and all right days.
But I guess it's all worth it.
[people chattering]
- Come on in Coco.
- Oh, Coco can I give you a hug?
- Yeah, you should.
- Oh my God.
Okay. Now another one.
- It means a lot, meeting new people
especially those ladies are super excited
and makes you feel like what you're doing matters.
And I'm glad that so many people are excited just
to see me play and just so excited to meet me.
It makes me feel really happy.
Now I'm about to go play my match and yeah, that was my day.
Thank you guys for joining.
