WATCH: Coco Gauff shows off her dancing skills in latest commercial for pasta brand Barilla
Coco Gauff was recently seen showing her dance moves as she featured in an advertisement for Barilla Protein+.
Barilla is an Italian brand that specializes in various kinds of pasta and pasta sauce. Gauff began partnering with them in 2019.
In a recent ad, the American showed off her dancing skills and was also seen playing tennis and making a TikTok. The ad ends with her relishing pasta with friends.
This isn't Barilla's first collaboration with the tennis world. In 2017, they roped in Roger Federer as their global brand ambassador.
Federer said on his website that he was excited about his partnership with the Italian brand because pasta has been a part of his diet for many years.
“Barilla pasta and sauces provide the energy that I need to succeed on the tennis court and enjoy my family’s favorite activities. Pasta has been part of my daily diet for so many years that this partnership is a natural. I am excited to be joining forces with Barilla. They are the best in the business,” Roger Federer said.
