Gauff and Zendaya’s previous interactions
While Zendaya has confirmed that the two haven’t met, there have been some interactions between the two over the past couple of years. Following Gauff’s win at last year’s US Open, Zendaya sent her a bouquet of flowers that weighted over 50 pounds. "The coolest thing that happened to me was Zendaya sent me flowers to my house. It was like a huge bouquet of flowers. My brother & I struggled to lift it up. I think it weighed at least 50 pounds. It was so heavy," said Gauff in an interview.
