Coco Gauff jokingly explained how she and Aryna Sabalenka convinced Elena Rybakina to join them in a fun reel ahead of the 2026 WTA Finals.
Ahead of the season-ending tournament, the eight finalists appeared for media day and posed for photos. Meanwhile, Sabalenka and Gauff made a fun reel featuring Australian Open and US Open champion Rybakina.
Rybakina is usually quite reserved, so fans were surprised to see her in the video. One fan asked how Gauff and Sabalenka managed to convince Rybakina to feature:
“We put a gun to her head and made her do it. (We just asked her lol.)” Gauff joked in response.
The video began with Gauff and Rybakina asking Sabalenka:
“Should we get a group shot?”
The four-time Grand Slam champion replied:
“We don’t have time.”
Gauff and Rybakina further ask:
“For what?”
Sabalenka gives a hilarious response, saying:
“Stupid questions.”
The three then pose for the camera with Rybakina in the center.
Gauff has been drawn alongside Elena Rybakina, Jessica Pegula, and Linda Noskova in the WTA Finals.
Coco Gauff is slated to make her fifth consecutive appearance at the WTA Finals
Coco Gauff is set to compete at the WTA Finals for the fifth consecutive time. The tournament will be held in Indian Wells, California, from November 8 to 15. She will take on compatriot Jessica Pegula in the first group match.
Gauff made her debut at the event in 2022, but fell in the round-robin stage. The next year, she advanced to the semifinals before losing to Pegula.
The American won her first WTA Finals title in 2024, defeating Zheng Qinwen in the final. She exited early in 2025.
