Coco Gauff made a lighthearted comment about Elena Rybakina joining her and Aryna Sabalenka in a promotional video for the WTA Finals, joking that "we put a gun to her head" to secure her participation.
The remark came in a video drop ahead of the season-ending tournament, featuring the three top players. Gauff's hyperbolic humor highlighted the camaraderie among the competitors.
The story was reported by Janhavi Shinde for College Sports Network on November 7, 2026.
