Coco Gauff accompanied fellow tennis player Christopher Eubanks to the 'Giraffe' restaurant as she jokingly stated that it was the "perfect choice" for the 6.7 ft tall player.
Gauff and Eubanks are currently taking part in the ASB Classic in Auckland. During their time off, the two decided to head out and experiment on a variety of cuisines from New Zealand. They eventually landed at the Giraffe restaurant located at Auckland Central.
The World No. 7 took to social media on Sunday to share a picture of Eubanks posing in front of the restaurant as she bantered about the American's height.
"Perfect restaurant choice on my end for this guy @chris_eubanks96 this joke will never get old to me I'm sorry," she wrote in her Instagram stories.
Gauff and Eubanks share a solid relationship with each other and have paired up for several mixed doubles matches over the years.
Christopher Eubanks is also close to the 18-year-old's family as he spent a few days of the holiday season with them.
Gauff shared a funny incident involving World No. 123 during the holidays. She took to Instagram to share a picture of herself with her family and friends, which included Eubanks as the American went on to jokingly convey that Eubanks was constantly changing the rules of the card game UNO to work the game in his favor.
"Us listening to @chris_eubanks96 changing the uno rules like 1 million times to work in his favor," she wrote.
