Coco Gauff recently expressed her delight upon receiving a beautiful piece of jewelry from Paula Badosa. The World No. 2 was gifted a stunning pair of earrings from Badosa’s exclusive jewelry line, “Aces,” which she created in collaboration with The 1916 Company.
Badosa launched her tennis-inspired jewelry collection earlier this year, in May 2025.

Recently, Gauff took to social media and shared her excitement about the thoughtful gift she received from Badosa: a pair of “sweet and beautiful” diamond earrings from the Alma collection.
“Coco! I wanted to gift something very special from me. I launched my jewelry design and wanted you to have this diamond earrings. Hope you like them! – Paula,” Badosa’s note read.
“thank you so much, so sweet and beautiful @paulabadosa 🥲❤️,” Gauff captioned her Instagram story.
On the tennis side, both Gauff and Badosa kicked off their grass-court seasons at the 2025 Berlin Tennis Open. The World No. 2 entered the WTA 500 tournament as the second seed and began her campaign in the second round after receiving a bye in the first. She faced qualifier Wang Xinyu in her opening match and was defeated with a scoreline of 6-3, 6-3.
On the other hand, Badosa, seeded eighth in Berlin, had a more successful start. She secured victories over wild card Eva Lys, winning 6-1, 6-3, and then overcame Emma Navarro 7-6(2), 6-3 in the first and second rounds, respectively.
However, the Spaniard’s run came to an end in the quarterfinals against the eventual runner-up, Wang. After losing the first set 1-6, Badosa was forced to retire from the match due to a back injury.
Both Gauff and Badosa are currently in London for the 2025 Wimbledon Championships, scheduled to take place from Jun. 30 to Jul. 13 at the All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club in Wimbledon, London.
