Coco did not behave beautifully, it is not yet clear in what form you will be 35 years old and how you will play thanks to Pepe that he at least helped you win the tournament, otherwise I would have collected 250 garbage cans
Is that real hair?
She's on point.
Well done Coco. Because Laura and that umpire were out of order.
I hope COCO never change she’s amazing player just keep calm. Don’t let your opponent get into your head and continue to do what you have to do.
CONGRATULATIONS to Coco! Really proud that you stood up for yourself to that bad chair ump. I'm pulling for you to win your first Slam! You go girl and continue to do your thing! Peace and love
Siegemund got exactly what she deserved.
Impressive post match interview, maturity and evolving Coco.
Coco is not going the distance with that attitude. I like her a lot but u need to respect your opponent as a sportsman, that’s all!
💯 on EVERYTHING, Coco!
When you get to Wimbledon, the rules will be adhered to. Us Brits don’t mess.
That Umpire should be investigated. Did she think the savy NY crowd would not notice her con game. We are use to con games.
Coco 🔥🔥
I don’t think the umpire was as bad at as people are making it out. That said, I think in trying to cater to Laura’s slow pace, the timing issue became more and more unfair to Coco especially when it came time for Coco to serve and Laura literally had her back to her. At that point is was appropriate for Coco to address it and the umpire did become more strict about it as it was addressed yet continued. It was getting beyond the point of reasonable… especially as the match was dragging on and IMO Laura was doing it intentionally to break the pace of the game and particularly Coco’s pace when she was doing well. Like the way Laura plays (very skilled and varied in pace) she also seemed to be trying to control the pace between points… Not to mention, you could tell after the first set that Laura was getting tired and had lost her edge and frankly the time between points is not just do as you please “break time” especially when your opponent is serving. Rules clearly state that you must be ready for the server and play at their pace. Anyway, regardless of the silly drama, Laura played very well particularly in the first set and Coco eventually got into her grove and solidified the win.
I think Brad Gilbert is a perfect fit for her.
Gauff is awesome. I look forward to watching her career.
….not a fan of Coco Gauff at all there's just too many other players that have natural talent that are more exciting to watch !!! …lets see how she does when the Creme la creme is remaining…..
I don’t think you were patient. You were controlling your anger that came out ultimately. You had a mocking smile right from the first set which shows no respect for a senior elder player. You are too young to understand but your box was old enough to understand. Sad that age doesn’t matter anymore.

Amazing young lady ❤❤❤
Intelligent and humble 😊
She's a class act! Hope she keeps advocating for herself!💜💜
The ref didn't want you to win.. period… and we all know why
I love her !!
The white woman talking to the ref got no coverage.
You are beautiful! And growing into your power.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤you!
She's a class act.
He is.a scandal. Men in womens sports, is despicable.

In 1988, Graf became the first & only tennis player male or female to achieve the Golden Slam by winning all four major singles titles and the Olympic gold medal in the same calendar year.[8] Furthermore, she is the only tennis player, male or female, to have won each major singles tournament at least four times.
Steffi Graf 🐐
Congratulations! You continue to speak up for yourself. Unfortunately, being who you are & what you represent you will continue to have these experiences. Please remember its not you, they are afraid of your Black Girl Magic❤❤❤❤
Oh how great she is at being the best, while treated the worst. We should do focus on the 3 fingers that point back at source, not her.
Excellent interview Coco
I want this girl to win so bad. I love her energy and attitude.
So is Coco being Black at least potentially why Siegemund wasn't called for time until the 3rd set? I mean, is it at least possible?
Everything isn't about race; however, some things are.
She is amazing..she has a New Fan…
🥰she’s so mature and articulate in her responses🫶🏽 A new fan here!
Siegemund sat down during a game? She should stick to doubles, sounds like she can’t keep up with singles anymore and had to resort to gamesmanship
winner
