Jackie and Joanne, all eyes are going to be on
Coco Golf this weekend.
The reigning U.S.
Open champion is thrilled to be back home.
And you know, this tournament is extra special for Coco.
She told us she's even staying at her parents house
instead of staying in a hotel.
She's joked that the only con to that is having
to put up with her loud brother.
But besides that, her tour routine is staying the same
here at the Miami Open.
Coco has quickly risen to the top of the tennis
world.
The Delray Beach native is currently the highest ranked US
tennis player and the third ranked women single player in
the world.
Coco captured her first grand title a few months ago
at the US Open in the Big Apple and the
accolades don't stop there.
Coco is now the first American tennis player to secure
a spot to compete for Team USA at the Olympics
in Paris this summer ago that she knew she would
accomplish.
I mean, I'm going to be honest, it wasn't much
of A shock.
I, I, I didn't even know that, you know, they
were, that there was like a numbers thing that people
were keeping track of.
But it wasn't a shock, to be honest.
I'm just really happy that I was able to do
that.
And hopefully, you know, everything goes smoothly.
Last Olympics, I qualified and, and I got COVID, so
I'm hoping this time around it'll be smooth.
Coco qualified for the Olympics in Tokyo back in 2020
but had to withdrawal after testing positive for COVID, so
she's hoping things go much more smooth this time around.
