Coco Gauff is currently playing her third-round match at the US Open against Elise Mertens. Gauff’s matches are a treat to watch live, especially when it is at the prestigious Arthur Ashe Stadium. The teen’s matches were previously graced by celebrities like Gayle King and the former first lady, Michelle Obama, accompanied by Barack Obama. In the ongoing third round, Gauff’s trash-talking buddy Frances Tiafoe, was spotted in the stands sporting a solid purple look.

The teenager defeated Big Foe in a mixed doubles charity match, as Tiafoe mocked her for her forehand, boasting his backhand prowess. Since the ATP champion lost, he earned the trash-talking tag. Tiafoe cheered for her as the teen looked to advance to the next round. The ATP Top-10 seed flaunted his Justin Beiber surprise as Gauff pulled a perfect comeback.
