Coco Gauff was in tears in the second round of the US Open in tears after her heavily fought. She thanked gymnasts Simone Biles, who gave her “Rest” from the stands.
Gauff struggled on Thursday in the first set against the Croatian Donna Vekic (WTA-49) and noted seven double errors. She pulled the set in the tiebreak towards herself, thanks in part to the support of Biles. The seven -time Olympic gymnastics champion was in the stands in the Arthur Ashe Stadium.
“She helped me. I thought: if she can walk on a beam of 15 centimeters, with all the pressure in the world, I can hit the ball in the lines,” said 21-year-old Gauff. “It brought me a bit of peace, knowing what she went through mentally.”
Biles left the Tokyo Olympic Games in 2021 due to mental problems. She returned to the highest level and made an impression last year by winning no less than three Olympic gold and once silver at the Paris Games. “She is an inspiration for me and her presence helped to win,” said Gauff.
Gauff recovered in the second set and eventually won 7-6 (5) and 6-2. In the interview on the track, the number three in the world could not control her tears. “I just show people what it’s like to be human.”
“I have bad days, but it’s about how you get up again after such moments. I think I showed today that I can get up, after I have felt the worst ever on the track.”
Gauff will compete against the Polish Magdalena Frech in the third round of the US Open. The American tennis star won the Grand Slam tournament in New York in 2023.
