At the upcoming Wimbledon Championship, several top tennis stars including Coco Gauff, Jannik Sinner, Alexander Zverev, Aryna Sabalenka, and Ons Jabeur shared their imaginative dream jobs if they weren’t competing. Fresh from her second Grand Slam victory at Roland Garros, Coco Gauff is preparing to pursue the coveted Wimbledon title, reflecting on her Wimbledon dream job alongside fellow players.
Players Share Their Ideal Roles at Wimbledon Beyond Tennis
Prior to the start of Wimbledon’s 138th edition on June 30, 2025, tennis stars arriving at the venue were asked about the roles they would take on at the tournament if not on the court. Ons Jabeur, the Tunisian star who reached a career-high of No. 2 in the WTA rankings, expressed her desire to catch a glimpse of soccer legend David Beckham in the Royal Box.
“At the entrance of the Royal Box to you know, see David Beckham.”
Meanwhile, Coco Gauff revealed a surprising choice for her possible Wimbledon role, stating she would have been one of the people who maintain the grass on the lawns.
“People that mow the grass,”
she said, demonstrating the motion with her hands.
Aryna Sabalenka, holding the World No. 1 and 2024 US Open champion titles, humorously said she would choose to serve food at the tournament so she could eat while working.
“Serving food because I would be eating as well while serving”
Jannik Sinner, the current World No. 1 from Italy, shared his dream of being a ball boy at Wimbledon, while German player Alexander Zverev fancied selling strawberries during the event.
Gauff’s Response to a Critic Highlights Her Confidence
Before gearing up for Wimbledon, Coco Gauff spent some relaxed moments exploring London with a friend, capturing the experience in a TikTok video where they posed and danced on European streets. She captioned the video with a playful tone.
“Pretty gals in London,”
One TikTok user, however, left a dismissive comment about Gauff’s tennis and appearance, provoking a sharp retort from the tennis champion.
“atleast shes decent at tennis because her visuals is giving”
Unwilling to let the remark slide, Gauff responded boldly.
“Girl you’re 12 lying abt being 21, tighten up before I tell your mom”
At age 21, Gauff has already secured notable achievements including winning the 2023 US Open, becoming the first American teenager to do so since Serena Williams in 1999. Her recent victory at Roland Garros was another significant milestone for American tennis, following Williams’ 2015 French Open triumph.

For Coco Gauff, building on her recent Grand Slam successes adds momentum to her campaign at the historic tournament. Her reflections on a dream Wimbledon job reveal a lighter side contrasting with her fierce on-court determination. Meanwhile, other players’ choices emphasize their personal connections to the event’s traditions and culture.
As the tournament begins, fans will watch closely to see if Gauff can translate her Grand Slam form into Wimbledon glory, continuing her ascent in the tennis world while inspiring audiences worldwide.
