Coco Gauff says her mum will go viral after brilliant Wimbledon celebration as she hopes heroics get her Beyonce gig invite
COCO GAUFF has said her mum will go viral after her brilliant Wimbledon celebration - as she hopes her week one heroics get her an invite to a Beyonce concert.
The 15-year-old sensation's mother was seen going wild in the crowd as the youngster battled into the fourth round at Wimbledon with a stunning win over Polona Hercog.
Now Gauff is determined to turn her mum into a meme after she cheered and waved her arms at the end of both the second and third sets.
When told of her mum's wild celebration, Gauff cringed: "Oh, no! Please tell me she's a meme. I'm so excited to go on Instagram!
"I didn't tell her, but she's going to go viral, I know. She's going to be a meme.
"I'm going to retweet it and everything. So I'm excited."
Gauff went on to say she believes her parents are the perfect team for her.
The teenager claimed: "My mum changed my mindset on how I look at things and my dad is the reason I dream so big.
FROM PAY DAY TO BEY DAY
"It's a good mix. They definitely work together well to tell me the right things.
"My mum doesn't like to play the coach role as my dad is my coach, so she plays the mother role."
Such is Gauff's incredible rise to stardom, she is now on the radar of music sensation Beyonce - with the youngster dreaming of an invite to one of her gigs.
Gauff said: "Ms Tina Knowles, Beyonce's mum, posted me on Instagram and I was screaming.
"I hope Beyonce saw that, I hope she told Beyonce about me because I would love to go to her concert."
Meanwhile, Gauff claimed her prize money from Wimbledon - set to be a minimum of £176,000 after reaching the fourth-round - will be used to help fund her hoodie addiction.

She joked: "I can't buy a car because I can't drive. I hate spending money.
"I love wearing hoodies, my mum actually banned me from buying them for two months as I kept getting them delivered to the house."
Gauff faced two match points after losing the first set en route to a stunning 3-6 7-6 7-5 win over world No60 Percog on the back of victories over Venus Williams and Magdalena Rybarikova.
But she will now face former world No1 Simona Halep in the last-16 aiming to keep her heart-warming run alive.
