Tennis fans, prepare your hearts—Coco Gauff and Alex Eala just became your new favorite duo. In a surprise revelation that sent both Filipino and American tennis Twitter into a tailspin, Coco Gauff finally opened up about how her budding partnership with Alex Eala took root. Spoiler alert: it didn’t start with a grand strategy or a coach’s mastermind plan. It started with… a DM.
That’s right. According to Gauff, it all began with a casual Instagram exchange—proof that even tennis prodigies slide into DMs when destiny calls. What followed was a series of practice sessions that quickly turned into real chemistry on and off the court. “We just clicked,” Gauff shared, adding that Eala’s fierce work ethic and chill personality made her an ideal training partner—and maybe more.
The partnership, whether it’s for doubles domination or mutual support during grueling WTA travel schedules, is already gaining traction. Fans have noticed their shared warm-ups, courtside laughs, and now, matching practice gear. Gauff even hinted at possible future doubles appearances, sending tennis fandom into a speculative frenzy.
More than just a story about two rising stars teaming up, it’s a glimpse into a new generation of women’s tennis—one where collaboration, cross-cultural friendships, and social media savviness create powerhouses.
From Instagram DMs to the practice courts, Coco and Alex are serving a fresh take on tennis partnerships. And something tells us this is just the beginning of their story.
