‘Just Scroll on TikTok All Day’ – Coco Gauff Humorously Explains Her Love for Social Media After Entering the Quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open

Coco Gauff has been winning hearts with her performances over the past few years. Especially this season, the 18-year-old American has enjoyed resounding success in several tournaments. At the French Open earlier this year, she made it to the finals in both singles as well as doubles. Further, she claimed the top spot in the WTA doubles rankings following a consistent run across the tournaments.

Gauff is currently in New York to participate in the US Open. She has reached the quarterfinals in women’s singles with a comprehensive win over Shuai Zhang of China. After the match, the American star opened up about her love for social media.

Coco Gauff reveals spending a lot of time on TikTok

During the on-court interview after her fourth-round victory, Gauff humorously talked about her addiction to TikTok. She said, “I just scroll on TikTok all day, to be honest. I like, set screen-time for myself but I’ve been putting in the password every time so I haven’t been following it.”

At just 18, Gauff is at the top of her game. She is enjoying her best result at the US Open this year. In 2019, she reached the third round in Flushing Meadows before losing out against Naomi Osaka.

However, Gauff had to face an unexpected defeat on the doubles front. Seeded second along with her partner Jessica Pegula, the duo lost in the opening round against Leylah Fernandez and Daria Saville. Owing to this result, Gauff will lose her World Number 1 ranking in doubles post the US Open.

Who will Gauff face next at the US Open?

After a straight-set win over Shuai Zhang, Gauff will take on Caroline Garcia of France in the quarterfinals of the 2022 US Open. Garcia had earlier defeated Alison Riske-Amritraj to enter the last eight.

Gauff and Garcia have met twice before, with the former coming out on top in both those encounters. It’ll be interesting to see if Garcia can overturn the result this time around.

Can Gauff do a Serena and clinch the US Open title as a teenager? Let us know in the comments.
