Coco Gauff Makes Amusing Revelation About Her Trick Shot from Wimbledon Practice, Urges Fans to Not Be ‘Fooled’

Coco Gauff just reminded the tennis world that while she may be one of the sport’s fiercest competitors, she’s also got a killer sense of humor—and some sneaky editing skills. The American star recently posted a jaw-dropping trick shot from her Wimbledon practice session, leaving fans and fellow players stunned. The behind-the-back flick? Flawless. The casual reaction? Icy cool. The internet? Losing its collective mind. But Gauff wasn’t about to let the moment go without a cheeky confession.

“Don’t be fooled,” she wrote with a laughing emoji, urging fans to take the clip with a grain of salt. Yep, the viral shot that looked like it belonged in a Nike ad was, in fact, a well-timed illusion—clever camera work and a bit of fun at the expense of her followers. “It took about 15 tries,” she admitted, confirming what most of us suspected but didn’t want to believe.

Still, whether or not the trick shot was 100% real in one take, the point was clear: Gauff is feeling loose, confident, and ready to enjoy herself ahead of the most prestigious grass court tournament of the year. And that’s a good sign. A relaxed Coco is a dangerous Coco—and the All England Club knows it.

While her game has matured, Gauff continues to show the authenticity that fans fell in love with when she first broke through at Wimbledon as a 15-year-old. This time around, she’s no longer the newcomer—she’s a legitimate title threat. But even with the weight of expectations, she’s still finding time to joke, go viral, and entertain the masses.

As tennis enters the height of grass season, Gauff’s playful Wimbledon moment is the kind of content that reminds us why she’s so popular: elite talent on court, pure charisma off it. Whether she’s hitting tweeners, dropping truth bombs, or clowning around on Instagram, Coco Gauff knows how to win hearts and rack up views.

So, was the trick shot real? Not exactly. But did it make us smile, watch it ten times, and hit the like button anyway? Absolutely. And if this is how Coco warms up, we can’t wait to see what she pulls off when the real matches begin. Game on, grass queen.
