WNBA Star Cameron Brink Pays Homage to Coco Gauff with Pregame Tribute

Coco Gauff, the reigning US Open champion, has received a flattering tribute from WNBA star Cameron Brink. Brink, a rookie for the Los Angeles Sparks, went viral for her pregame cosplay of Gauff's Roland Garros outfit.

Brink, who is also sponsored by New Balance, arrived at the arena for a game against the Indiana Fever wearing a similar New Balance collared polo tank and pleated skirt to the separates that Gauff has been wearing on court in Paris.

"I want to be like Coco," Brink said.

Gauff, who is a noted basketball fan, was surprised and delighted by the shoutout.

"I haven't got the chance to meet Cameron yet, but obviously been watching her a lot when she was at Stanford and now seeing her in the WNBA is great, and I definitely want to try to catch a game," Gauff said.

Gauff also expressed her hope that Brink would one day have the chance to show off her own style chops with her own signature New Balance shoe.

"I hope one day maybe ... I can rock it too for my press events," Gauff said. "She's awesome."

Gauff has been equally impressive on the court at Roland Garros. She clinched a spot in the quarterfinals for the fourth straight year with a 6-1, 6-2 win over unseeded Italian Elisabetta Cocciaretto on Sunday. In four matches in Paris, Gauff hasn't lost a set and has surrendered just 18 games.
