Coco Gauff breaks down in tears following her second-round US Open tennis win before praising Simone Biles’s inspiration.
Gymnast Simone Biles provided some inspiration to Coco Gauff during a tough second-round match at the US Open, and after Gauff won, she was thrilled to get the chance to chat with the Olympic star.
Biles was in the Arthur Ashe Stadium stands for Gauff’s 7-6 (5), 6-2 victory over Donna Vekic on Thursday night.
During her on-court interview, Gauff thanked Biles for being there and providing a boost – then delivered the message face-to-face.
Gauff, a 21-year-old from Florida who has two Grand Slam titles, said the thought of Biles doing her job on a balance beam gave her confidence to know she could perform on a tennis court.
