She takes time to recover
Coco needed to focus on her recovery after the Madrid Open, saying, “when I started my first practice, I felt 100%. I took three days off after my last match, and I feel fine, like nothing happened. It was definitely a weird maybe 48 to 72 hours, but I got through some tough ones, and I had chances in the last match. So, given I wasn’t feeling 100% is definitely some positives to take for sure,” she said.
She spends time in the water

She powers through

Battles like this make it worth it, a lot to learn from. Thank you Dubai,” she said on Instagram.
She’s goal oriented
She chases her athletic dreams, setting goals and fighting to achieve them. “Wow. This means so much to me truly….French open champion. I worked so hard for this moment and for it to have happened is insane. Thank you God ❤️ and thank you everyone. This means the world…. I’m still in shock honestly can’t find the words but all I can say for now is just thank you and never give up on your dreams,” she said.
