The 19-year-old says the singer’s presence inspired her victory on Friday.
NEW YORK: Coco Gauff was left star-struck by Justin Bieber in the crowd during her US Open match with Elise Mertens, but the 19-year-old American said the singer’s presence also inspired her comeback victory on Friday.
“I definitely saw who was there,” Gauff said on the ESPN broadcast after the match. “I thought, ‘I cannot lose in front of Justin Bieber’. I didn’t lose a game after I saw that. Sixth seed Gauff, who is chasing her first Grand Slam title, said she was honoured to have celebrities in the stands during her matches this year.
“It’s crazy. I’ve come to the Open for years. Being a fan, just looking in the crowd to see who’s coming, looking in the president’s box, the suites, to see who’s there, now being a player, it’s really crazy,” Gauff said.
