Coco Gauff may be one of the best tennis players in the world, but she does not let it get in the way of having a life outside of the sport.

After all, she still finds time for films, concerts and reading, revealing as much in her latest press conference in Qatar.

This event will mark just her second of the season, having most recently reached the quarterfinals of the Australian Open.

And whilst they did speak about this run, it was the discussion one of the biggest new films that really got Gauff enthused.

Speaking at her Qatar Open press conference, once the tennis talk was finished, attention turned to the movies.

And, focusing on Margot Robbie’s new film, which is the latest adaptation of Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights, Gauff had plenty to say about it.

She admitted: “I’m really curious how they’re going to do the movie, because I saw that they’re marketing it as the greatest love story, and after reading it, it’s not a great love story. So I don’t really know if this is about to be like, I feel like it’s just going to be the director’s take on the movie, based off the marketing. We’ll see. It was a good book, but it definitely is not the greatest love story. It’s a lot of toxicity and abuse going on in that book.”

“I’ve never read a book in the 1800s before, so I had to reread a couple of pages sometimes to understand the English. But I think it was good, I think I’ll do it some more to challenge myself.”

Coco Gauff’s verdict on Bad Bunny performing at the Super Bowl

This was not the only pop culture conversation that Gauff had at her presser, also touching on the Super Bowl as well.

And, whilst she chatted the night before it got underway, the American was still able to offer her verdict on Bad Bunny being selected to perform at the half-time show.

She first revealed her fragile allegiance, noting: “My friend’s boyfriend is on the Seahawks, so I’m rooting for the Seahawks strictly because of her.”

Gauff then noted: “I’m excited to see Bad Bunny perform. Hopefully Cardi B can come out. So, I’m more interested in the halftime show this year, just because I don’t really have a dog in the fight for the Super Bowl. I’ll probably be sleeping, and I’ll just watch the halftime show in the morning.”

She will have had to settle for watching Lady Gaga appear as Bad Bunny’s star guest instead of Cardi B.
