COCO GAUFF: I had reservation going to Saudi Arabia

And, true to her word, Gauff did make sure to communicate directly with women in Saudi Arabia. “We spoke with a lot of women here in Saudi. One of them was Princess Reema. Multiple calls with her, how the best approach would be to enter into this different place that women have never kind of, women from the US, have never kind of been in. I think for me it was important, and it was one of the questions I brought up because about LGBTQ issues, women’s rights issues, how we can help with that.”

Finally, Gauff brought it full circle, incorporating her own family history of facing prejudice, Gauff stated said, “I think knowing from the past from my grandmother, integrating her school, people aren’t going to like it, but obviously in the long run I think it could be better for everybody,’ Gauff said.
