Coco Gauff makes ‘pole dancing’ confession in eye-opening interview

Coco Gauff has taken up pole dancing as a hobby, saying she enjoys it and hopes to stick with it despite being new to the activity. The two-time Grand Slam champion shared the news in a Vogue Q&A, offering a glimpse of her interests away from tennis.

Gauff, 22, said she had started about three weeks earlier and often moves quickly between hobbies, mentioning an unused guitar and keyboard. She also plays basketball for fun. The interview featured the eight highest-ranked women in tennis ahead of the WTA Finals, where Gauff was due to face fellow American Jessica Pegula at Indian Wells on Sunday.
