Noise and music from the audience are just parts of some sports. But a few sports are rather quiet when the game is in play. Tennis is one such sport. People from the crowd are expected to keep pin-drop silence when a point is in play. If they fail, they can be evicted from the stadium. One tennis player forgot the rule, however, as she tried to continue the momentum with the music. Coco Gauff got caught up in the music and had to be stopped by her compatriot.

The American sensation is one player who likes to have fun when she’s not playing. Her doubles partner, Jessica Pegula, talked about how Gauff’s lively demeanor keeps her young as well.
