In her post-match press conference, the 19-year-old revealed how the night before her final match, she began to feel overwhelmed by the prospect of a US Open glory.

In an effort to regain some focus, Gauff turned to her “boyfriend” as they talked on the phone until 1:00 a.m. and then she went to bed. She said, “I just called my boyfriend, and I told him let’s talk until it’s time to go to sleep, so we spoke until 1:00 a.m. and then I went to sleep.”

Gauff’s truth bomb was so sudden that it has now jolted the entire tennis community on Twitter. In her honest confession, the American teenager didn’t reveal the name of her mystery man. But the fans are guessing it is her male counterpart and the breakthrough star, Ben Shelton.
