Sha’Carri Richardson and Coco Gauff might be rivals when it comes to the BET Sportswoman Of The Year Award 2025. But on the field, mutual respect is pretty much on point. As Coco Gauff pulled off a 3.5-hour marathon victory in the semifinals of the Italian Open, the entire world stood up and took notice. With congratulations flooding Gauff’s inbox, one particular one among them caught the tennis star’s eyes. And it came from none other than her fellow track and field friend, Sha’Carri Richardson. And while Gauff enjoyed the compliment pretty much, she did not forget to give it back to the track queen.
Sha’Carri Richardson recently took to her Instagram story to praise Gauff. Bowing down to the tennis star for her efforts, Richardson wrote, “WHEN YOU WIN A 3.5HR THRILLER COCO ©cocogauff” Soon after the post, Gauff reposted the same on her story, but now she too had a special 3-word message for Richardson. It read, “Thank you queen.” Now, coming back to why Gauff is getting all the praise, let’s go back to her match against Qinwen Zheng.
