Best speech I've heard at the US Open ... 'I dont pray for results ... I pray for the strength to give it my ALL'
It would have been a perfect speech, but she spoiled it with her comments about naysayers. She needs to be fully gracious in victory, even to the naysayers, so that when the days of defeat come, everyone will still feel for her and not say:"Serves you right!" Hopefully, someone will be there to k8ndly sit her down and remind her that she has her entire future ahead, so she should not let this victory go to her head. I am glad she won, but I want her to not only be successful but to develop the kind of personality that makes her loved by all, even the naysayers.
@@s.patterson5698oh shut up
@@s.patterson5698 she was gracious. She said nothing negative about the naysayers, only that they motivated her.
She was gracious and she spoke the TRUTH. She said NOTHING negative
about the naysayers. @@s.patterson5698
Absolutely!.

“I don’t pray for results. I ask that I get the strength to give it my all.” For me, that’s the most striking line! At 19. Talk about meeting the moment. What maturity to thank her family, Billie Jean King, and the NY crowd. And to see the legacy of Venus/Serena on display! It’s an emotional moment.
What's the connection with Venus/Serena?
@@ddhh1270 “In 2009, after watching Serena win the Australian Open on television, 4-year-old Coco announced to her parents that she wanted to be a tennis player. Six year later, she began training at the Mouratoglou Academy in France, overseen by Patrick Mouratoglou, Williams’ longtime coach. Two years later in Melbourne, Williams won the last of her 23 Grand Slam singles titles. Eight months later, Gauff became the youngest US Open girls’ singles finalist ever. She was 13.
“I grew up watching her,” Gauff said a few weeks ago in Toronto. “I mean that’s the reason why I play tennis. Tennis being a predominantly white sport it definitely helped a lot. Because I saw somebody who looked like me dominating the game. It made me believe that I could dominate, too.”
And it isn’t just a debt to Williams. Gauff was also inspired by Venus Williams, now 42. You can see elements of her game in the way Gauff plays, especially her serve. Corey Gauff, too, had an idol of sorts, a mentor from afar. His name was Richard Williams.”
@@ddhh12702:38 she says her growing up her dad used to bring her to watch Venus and Serena compete…
@@ddhh1270 Are you not aware that Venus and Serena are African Americans and as such their influence as role models would have been significant for young African American girls like Coco?
Stunning and brave...
"for those who thought you were putting water on my fire, you're adding gas to it"...Coco spitting straight 🔥 💯...congrats to this 👏 beautiful, talented, and intelligent young lady..onwards and upwards!
Please give me a break. All she has done now is put more pressure on herself and bringing on more hate.
Nah she’s asking for more gas ! Let’s go Coco !
@matrix35 well sport at the top level is full of pressure. It goes with the territory. She is a winner now.She has joined a list of American winners of the US Open.
@@matrix35
to be humble is more precious than the trophy itself
i didnt like her speech
arrogant young girl
How is CoCo this composed and thoughtful at her young age? She really is a miracle. I can’t think of a tennis grand slam champion who was this gracious and graceful at age 19.
Yeah i don’t know any 19 or 39 year old even that speaks so clearly and confidently.
Her parents and grandparents=Her family💯.
Why is she a miracle ? She is representing....She like all of those that have reason to fight for the next day are nothing special.... We are HERE....And We Are Coming!😂 And we always will!😊
Upbringing and religious faith
Alcaraz for starters.
Coco Gauff: "I don't pray for results. I just ask that... I get the strength to give it my all and whatever happens, happens. I am so blessed in this life..." What a beautiful soul! What a beautiful lesson!
what are we teaching our children, that a colored girl can just argue and bully her way to the top?
True That!!!
SHE IS MY DAUGHTER ALSO!
How many nigg@$ do we got over here?
Haters were loud after Wimbledon they quiet like church mice now
This is just AWESOME. Coco is brilliant. She is wise beyond her years. She has the wisdom of a 40 something. Her parents did a fantastic job. They should write a book. Congratulations Coco. This is so inspiring.
💯
Mentioning doubters and anti fans is kind of pointless and not remotely mature..too much like Serena on a bad day. Oh well
@@martinhudecek8886. We don't care what you think! Haters are motivators. It is true. Keep watching. 😂
@@martinhudecek8886 You couldn't be more wrong. History is replete with examples of those individuals who were told that they were not ready to be champions. There are players who will respond to that criticism & not be successful; however, there are those players who will use it as a motivational tool to excel. Coco is very young - and many doubted that she had the age and maturity to win a grand slam. She used that criticism to make herself a better player. She could have folded after the 1st set. But she didn't and she proved she is a capable player. It will be a pleasure to see her grow in the sport.
@@martinhudecek8886Were you that matured at her age to win a Grand Slam Title?
It was one of the best acceptance speeches I have heard from an athlete. Especially from someone so young. She covered her bases as well as she covered the court.👏🏼👏🏼
what are we teaching our children, that a colored girl can just argue and bully her way to the top?
Yes!! She gave a phenomenal speech!
Right right, so many times we see where they don't acknowledge the " the small people " behind the scenes, it matters, I am proud of her!
That was a profound speech! She is certainly very self aware, gracious in triumph - making it a point to congratulate the player she beat for being #1 in the world, showing gratitude to all who helped her in the many different ways they did, her prayers, her taking negativity & making it positive, & acknowledging Billy Jean King paving the way for women players in tennis. I hope to see & hear more winners’ speeches that look to the positive & celebrate the win with deep gratitude. Well done, Coco!!!
It truly was a model of benevolence and gratitude that was wonderful for everyone to receive 🙂
And the NYC crowd was amazing and backed her up fully. They deserved a shout out.
"Thank you Billie for fighting for this." Gotta love the respect for those that paved the way
She should of let Billie have at least $20,000.
@@ceebee8042
You didn't catch Billie Jean eyeing the check when Coco put it on the table to hold the trophy?😊
Shame that irritating issue had to come up.
@@ceebee8042 Are you insane? Billie Jean King has money than most of the people in that stadium.
Combined
"Today was the first time I've ever seen my Dad cry. He doesn't want me to tell you that, but he got caught in 4K." What not to love about Coco ❤
what are we teaching our children, that a colored girl can just argue and bully her way to the top?
"He thinks he's so hard" 😆 (every bad boy has a soft side 😅)
What's the meaning of 4k?
@@johnpaulmangut53754K is the resolution of the cameras/the TV screen. Basically saying they caught him on the huge really detailed tv screen crying so there’s no way he can hide it 😂
My granny said, "That young lady is a gentle reminder of faith, hope, humility, and LOVE. . .people love, game love, team love, tennis love, and of course, TMH's love. Congratulations Coco!"
Yes, Granny! ❤️🙏🏾
Never underestimate the importance of a GREAT father in the life of his child(ren). He took her to watch Serena and Venus at a very young age. He ignited that fire in her.
Yes.
👊🏿💯🏆👑
I LOVED that she just thanked those that didn't believe in her. That was beast!!!
Haters are more mad now😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
Facts
@@marcusgraham5084definitely
She will never get another 1!! Hahahaha
It's a wonder she did not take a knee after saying that ,you know I am saying ?
Coco was so poised and patient throughout this entire match. Handled her business like a true champ! Well deserved. This won’t be her last either. I can already feel that there’s more to come!
A credit to the sport. Terrific speech and this will resonate to so many, who have people trying to dim their light and this shows determination, talent and the willingness to keep finding ways to improve, will show results.
Congratulations Coco.
From all her press conferences til this speech, it just really shows what a beautiful person Miss Gauff is. 💎⭐
So eloquent and pays great attention to detail for someone so young. Congrats Coco. You are a champion. Hopefully, the first of many
Well said, acknowledged who was on the journey with her and " the small people " behind the scenes! now that is grace & class!
I luv the part where she thanked the ppl who didn't believe in her, not bc this was a FU moment, but bc it shows how you can use criticism to your advantage.
Some people will wilt and get discouraged by criticism, but Coco showed you can use that to push yourself to become stronger.
A definite boon to us all bc we all have haters in our lives.
Never let haters have their way. 💪💪
Yep haters, they come in all sorts
Who are these haters she is talking about though? The media loves her. Everyone was rooting for her to win.
@@timothylee2772 Could be her fellow players
@@shihlin1 ehhhhh.....or maybe she is just making a drama for herself...
every player was told in the beginning that they wouldn't make it, and they proved those people wrong each time, just like Serena and others that came before her
Saw her win the orange bowl juniors and just watched her win a major...what a full circle moment...CONGRATS TO THE GAUFF FAMILY!!
what are we teaching our children, that a colored girl can just argue and bully her way to the top?
A young lady with class.
The U.S. Open may be the first grand slam win for Coco, but I predict it won't be her last.
Congratulations, Coco on your magnificent victory! 👏👏👏👏
It doesn't stop here, she going to go on to do legendary things in the sport. Well deserved & Well earned. 🙌🏾
Coco certainly has the talent to win alot of titles, but it remains to be seen if she can be the next Serena or the next Andreescu where she wins a major and then proceeds to have difficulty in getting back to a finals.
@Daffy_C Amen🙌🏾!
I smiled the whole time I watched her speak during this video. So beautiful. Her win is so well deserved. Congratulations Coco. 🎉🥳🎊
I cried so hard to this seeing Coco Gauff winning. It reminds all of us that we want to be like her someday and make it to the top like she did congratulations to her.
I love your comment 🥹
19? Very mature beyond her years and she is a heck of an athlete. Way to go, Coco!
She is a great representative and example for us. I am in tears.
I'm not crying I'm cutting onions
If only other Blacks would follow Coco's example .... and not commit crimes or/and apologists to it.
@@peekaboopeekaboo1165Projection is your true reflection.
@@ronniejohnson196
Some of her fellow Blacks are targeting Asian people...
Us?
I actually cried for this humble young lady. She’s awesome and I’m glad she won-Congratulations beautiful!! 🥰
As a guy from Poland and Iga's fan, I gained utmost respect for Coco after her performance and especially after this acceptance speech. No unnecessary grunting, just pure grit, pure fight and pure passion towards the sport with humility and proper mental attitude within. I always felt like she was thrown into the tour a bit too fast at 15 yo with all that expectation coming from American media of her being next Venus/Serena. It looks like adding Brad Gilbert to the team was the best thing she'd ever done, I'm curious how the rivalry in WTA will look right now with Coco coming in as a strong contender even for the no1 spot if she keeps her mind in check.
Pops got caught crying in 4K! Im dying!😂 Congratulations Coco, many more to come.
Great sense of humor! Great job Coco!
Coco comes from a humble back ground it reflects in her personality she is very bright & mature for her age a great potential leader & example for the young generation 😊
Great job Coco! I hope you can win many more slams. You are an awesome champion!

Did I just shed a tear? Wow! Congratulations Coco! I love every word you spoke here.
Many congratulations coco...you deserve to win the trophy...hope to see you on another grand slam final

Can only be proud of seeing young people promoting hardwork and determination.
Your star will shine too.
Congrats Coco!
It doesn't get any better than that. Well spoken, much appreciated. ❤
What an amazing person. Appreciating everyone, including the people who didn't believe in her. She didn't insult them, but reminded them to take pause and to stop judging so quickly.
Amazing young woman. Not ashamed to mention prayers in a generation of confused young people. Congratulations to the parents , job well done.
What a classy, awesome young lady! Congratulations Coco! Well done!
Except her closing remark about naysayers. That was uncalled for. She needs to realize she is just getting started, and humility in victory makes it easier to cope when defeat comes.
@@s.patterson5698naysayers had no issue being rude to her and she handled them with class. She didn’t curse or anything like that.
@@s.patterson5698You cannot please all the people all the time!!!!!
@@s.patterson5698you are most likely one of the naysayers that she was talking about, you are everywhere 😅

What a speech; it tells all about her character and upbringing. First Grand Slam win is Sweet Home Win 2023. You can't beat this first and formost home win. We will see her year after year from USA OPEN, TO FRENCH OPEN, FROM AUSTRALIA TO ENGLAND and what have.
Congratulations Coco!
My eyes are full of tears for Cocoa !! Congratulations
Hot chocolate is indeed very nice, though I'm more focused on Coco and her great win. 😜
What a well deserved victory!!

Only blacks in her box why??
Why hating others..and if you have so proud for race then why you live in US , better live in Africa
Sabalenka had 20 unforced forehand errors midway through the third set. It is mind boggling that she will be world #1 on Monday. A very weak field. She hits the ball hard, very hard, with little accuracy. Coupled with her constant screaming, it is unpleasant watching her play. So awesome Coco go girl
Congratulations Coco Gauff. I knew you were gonna win. You are a CHAMPION!!! 💪🏆🎾🙌🤩
Congratulations to an amazing young woman. May the Lord continue to bless you in all your future endeavors.

Kudos for calling out the haters, rubbing salt in their wounds. Amazing player amazing interview.
Btw did that lady just read from the placard "2023 USO champion Coco Gauff" 😅
Venus and Serna planted the seeds. This is the first results of those seeds. Very proud of this humble young lady.
She is smart, articulate and an incredible athlete. Looking forward to seeing more of her matches.
ARYNA SHOULD TAKE NOTES AND LEARN FROM COCO. WINNING ISN'T ONLY ABOUT NUMBERS, IT'S ABOUT CONDUCT, SELF-DISCIPLINE, AND RESPECT FOR OTHERS. WHAT A CHAMP!! GOOOOOO COCO! THANKS FOR BEING A ROLE MODEL FOR FUTURE GENERATIONS!
One of the epic speeches ever at the US open.....love you gauff and there is a lot to learn from your positivity and attitude ❤
They are great athletes but not the best public speakers ever. And she was very difficult in the semi with the protester

a Winner with Pride and great sportsmanship. She's so deserving. Outstanding
A win well deserved.. congratulations Coco and congratulations for many more to come 🎉
😂🤣😂 these kids are a riot. I love their humility but directness. Thanking everyone, even the haters. Sha’Carri did the same thing and I love this for them. No need to be humbled or carry the negativity spewed by those who will never see your dreams or want your dreams to come true.
They inspire me to be more like my old self, before the world beat me down.
I’m rooting for everyone black!
Say that again !!!
So is Simone biles
Exactly! ❤
May this give you the strength never to let the world beat you down again. Shine bright!
Great comment and it also shows us how to push through any negative from others sometimes we can let others words and actions toward us stop us in our tracks. It takes real character to live like this. I've learned a great deal from your comment and coco speech😊
Fighting through all the adversity, a true Champion, congratulations 🙏🏾

Congratulations Coco on 🏆 winning your First Grandslam and this is the beginning of many Grandslams for you in the future. You are a great Champion 🏆.
I had to stand up and clap for this brilliant sister. Grace, Dignity, Fire, Beauty, and over-the-top Tennis Acumen. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
What I really like about coco is how much she has turned her game around. Not so long ago she was a bag of nerves and could barley win a game. Now look at the people she has beaten.. she’s a big talent if she continues this.
She beat the past number one and now new number one y'all have the nerve to hate on that young lady at the age of 19 you remember one in my book Coco in order to be number one you have to beat number one and you did that twice in 2 months
It wasn't the nerves with Coco it was the coaching!
so true, my only regret it that it took so long to realize she had to change her coaching team, she should have changed like 2 years ago. and she would be unplayable right now
Sit down
@@larrywoods6220 why are you acting like I’m hating on her? Lol
It's just beautiful to see a 19 year old speak with such intelligence and poise.. Congratulations to Coco.
Honestly, I can't stop the tears...of joy! 😭😭😭
Well done Coco!❤
19 years old and she's a grand slam winner!!! 🏆
I'm happy today, Colorado football and Coco put a smile on my face.
same here
Big up congrats to Coco! You have worked really hard to get where you at ! Many more wins to come your way!👏
Great job, Coco. I look forward to seeing you win many more. I love your faith and positive attitude.
Ha ha. these great athletes are such competitors, even at such a young age... she was all smiles and then before that line you can see the focus in her eyes. She uses every doubt as fuel for her ambition. Great young champion.
Coco is very down to earth. Thinking Billy Jean for her battle of the sexes and the ball boys and girls very humbling. You have a great path ahead of you. Follow the path and you will succeed every time. Thank you Coco for a great match.
Does coco know Bobby played along??
@@martinhudecek8886 Do you know she wasn't speaking about that tennis game between Billie Jean and Bobby? Coco was speaking about the fact that it was Billie Jean's lobbying and her threat to boycott the US Open in 1973 that finally led the tournament to give the female winners the same prize money as the male winners. Coco was thanking Billie Jean for that fat $3 million check that's equal to the male winner of the open.
tremendous job coco did turning things around this summer and a great combination of intelligence sincerity and humility
Coco is so humble and generous! A true definition of a CHAMP! 🙌
She is so special! She blows me away - so sharp, so thoughtful, … and her best tennis is ahead of her. Women’s tennis is incredible- Iga Aryna Rynakina and Now Coco! And Osaka set to return. Grand Slams are going to be very exciting!!!!
Excelente partido. Te felicito . Que sigas trabajando para que llegues al Nro 1.
CONGRATS COCO!!💐🎉🎊🎾
And a proud shout out to Billie Jean King for opening the doors and conquering hurdles for women's Tennis. Especially that awesome tournament women versus men beating Bobby Riggs Thank you Billie Jean King!!!👏👏👏👏
No words to tell how you demonstrate your exceptional play and determination. I'm proud of you.we still keep the legacy of Serna and venus.keep it.
She put down the 3 mil check and picked up the trophy😅
All that wisdom and composure at 19 years old. Wow!
I for one never doubted her since I saw her first 3 matches in Cincinnati.
Coco is all smiles but I could see her liftng the coveted trophy glazed in crystal.She is an act hard to conquer literally for any opponent since her break into the WTA.She has justified her hard work in the form of winning her maiden US Open title.Well done champ,thoroughly deserved....🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Really proud of Coco. Sabalenka having to stand there listening to the winner’s speech must be harrrrrd. 😂
So stunned by her awareness and maturity. Future legend
19 year old is incredible performance and amazing win congratultions coco🏆🎊🎾❣️
Parabéns, Coco. Que Deus continue lhe abençoando. É só o comecou de tudo. 🇧🇷❤💫
Grande hermoza esperamos verte pronto felitaciones y un gran abrazo y besitos❤ somos chilenos que viven en usa estamos felices por tu triunfo que sabemos que serán muchos hoy mañana y siempre.

CONGRATULATION Coco!!! A win well deserved - many more to come. You're an inspiration❤❤❤ Ain't no stopping Coco🔥
Such eloquence, wisdom, maturity and grace. Love her joy and everything she stands for.
Coco is a great player.
She is very humble and grounded too.
A great speech.
t's a great example of having the mental fortitude to adapt, dominate, and win against an opponent. The watch was fantastic & the proud dad shed a tear, how cute is that?
What a fight to finish lift the Cup Congrats CCG 🎉many more ahead 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Her on-court body language is next level...pure mission-oriented focus and determination. Then the explosion of genuine emotion of breaking down when she won, the great speech, and even the politeness of remembering to go back and shake the umpire's hand after such an emotional moment, paint her as an incredible lady...and she's still a teen. What?!
"Thank you to the people who didn't believe," is also a pretty wise statement and inspirational to anyone in or out of sport.
Her speech was of down to earth she just appreciates everyone around her and is grateful it’s so refreshing to see in the tennis world
Elle est tres jeune mais d une maturité incroyable des paroles pleines de sagesse pour une aussi jeune et belle fille graine de championne desormais je vais suivre tes matchs depuis que venus et serena ont arrêté je ne regardais plus les matchs bravo a toi

Wow! Coco is a class act.
Congratulations!!❤
Coco Gauff reminds me so much of Raphael Nadal with her personality and character. Keep it up and don't change so younger people have someone to aspire to be - a better person and it doesn't have to be tennis.
That’s a joke right?😂 also… “Raphael”?? Hahahaha
Such a beatiful person in and out, Coco is. Very talented and articulate. Love her ❤
She is a super star already!!!! Super mature speech!!!! Very happy for her !!!!💪🏻💪🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
"Body on fire head on ice " well done Coco.
Coco is a fighter. Congratulations! Well deserved!
