Coco Gauff featured in mind-reading clip and defends training regimen

Tennis star Coco Gauff recently drew attention through two distinct interactions. At a pre-US Open gathering in Manhattan, a video surfaced showing mentalist Oz Pearlman performing a mind-reading demonstration on Gauff. The encounter, which included other players like Matteo Berrettini, featured Pearlman accurately anticipating Gauff’s thoughts regarding hypothetical match scenarios and specific feelings.

Separately, Gauff addressed criticisms regarding her training regimen following social media clips that some viewers interpreted as a lack of effort. Gauff clarified that while social media videos may only show 30 seconds of activity, her typical training sessions exceed five hours, excluding warm-ups and recovery. Her mother, Candi Gauff, publicly supported her daughter, emphasizing the intense work ethic required to maintain her professional standing.
