World No.3 Coco Gauff Invites Love Island Cast to US Open

Coco Gauff, the No. 3 tennis star and 2023 U.S. Open champion, has revealed her strong enthusiasm for the reality show Love Island USA, particularly season seven. She has expressed a desire to invite some cast members, including fan favorites Olandria Carthen, Nic Vansteenberge, and Chelley Bissainthe, to watch her matches at the U.S. Open, although she initially hesitated to send invitations. Gauff engaged with the cast on social media, with Olandria acknowledging Gauff as a devoted fan and Gauff reciprocating by inviting them to a match, facilitated by the U.S. Open. Her addiction to the show was so intense she deleted Twitter to manage her focus during the tennis season. The cast recently filmed a reunion special in New York City and have made media appearances, raising the possibility that they may attend the tournament. Gauff begins her 2025 U.S. Open campaign on August 25 against Ajla Tomljanovic, combining her tennis ambitions with her Love Island fandom.
