When Coco Gauff revealed her love and fandom for Beyonce

The American tennis star is a huge fan of Beyonce.

Back when 15-year-old Coco Gauff beat Venus Williams on Centre Court at Wimbledon in 2019 and became an overnight sensation, she was particularly thrilled to receive one among the many congratulatory messages. The said message was from Beyonce's mother, Tina Knowles. Gauff revealed her excitement upon reading the message and expressed hope for Beyonce as well to know who she was.

"The most unexpected message I received wasn't really a message," Gauff said after her win. "Miss Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mum, posted me on Instagram. I was like screaming.

"I don't know, I hope Beyonce saw that. I hope she told her daughter about me because I would love to go to a concert."

The 18-year-old also recently reacted to the news of Beyonce's World Renaissance Tour being held later this year, which is set to be her first world tour in seven years.
