Yesterday at 07:55 PM
Coco Gauff has received plenty of love from fans throughout her rapid rise in the tennis world, but what happened at the 2025 Madrid Open took admiration to a whole new level.
Following her second-round win at the tournament, Gauff was doing what she often does—signing autographs for a line of excited supporters. But one fan had something far more permanent in mind. She asked Gauff to sign her arm, promising to have the signature turned into a real tattoo. Gauff, visibly surprised, smiled and agreed, thinking it might just be a fun moment. What she didn't expect was for the fan to actually follow through just hours later.
The fan returned soon after, proudly showing off a freshly inked tattoo of Gauff's signature, accompanied by a portrait sketch of the tennis star on her forearm. The surreal moment was captured in a now-viral video posted on social media, showing Gauff's stunned reaction as she stared in disbelief at the tattoo.
"I thought she was joking," Gauff said, reposting the video with the caption: "She really did it. Madrid energy is unmatched."
