In terms of sport, Cori Gauff is on the WTA tour so semi. In Indian Wells, the American, who had just turned 19, reached the quarter-finals after a feat against Rebecca Petersson, but lost there without a chance against Aryna Sabalenka.
A little variety is definitely good. And Gauff also found it as an actress. In the US, a "cameo appearance" is a very brief appearance intended to attract attention to a feature film or TV series (NFL fans may remember the millisecond during which Aaron Rodgers, still quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, seen in the finale of Game of Thrones).
From the tennis scene, for example, John McEnroe's appearance in the series "Curb Your Enthusiasm" is remembered. McEnroe is playing - who else? - oneself.
Gauff amazed at the number of takes
So now Cori Gauff has appeared in "All American: Homecoming". The series is about a young woman who transfers to college to pursue her dream of becoming a professional tennis player.
Cori Gauff can certainly contribute something to this topic. She also shared information about the filming during Indian Wells week: "I didn't know how many times you have to repeat a scene over and over again. Drills in tennis are all about repetition, but that's even worse here."
