Coco Gauff had some high-profile fans watching her at the 2023 US Open, which added to her motivation to win her match. While Gauff always plays to win due to her competitive spirit, she also didn’t want to disappoint the celebrities in the crowd, including fellow athlete Jimmy Butler and music sensation Justin Bieber.

Justin Bieber has been an idol of Gauff’s for many years, making his presence at her match even more exciting. Jimmy Butler, a top NBA player with the Miami Heat, also holds a special place in Gauff’s admiration, particularly for his interest in tennis, including rising star Carlos Alcaraz.

For Gauff, playing in front of celebrities is still a bit surreal, especially when she saw Justin Bieber, who was joined by her friend Frances Tiafoe in the audience for part of the match.

While she finds it somewhat crazy, she also sees it as a cool experience and appreciates the recognition. Most importantly, she was thrilled to secure the victory and extend her journey at the US Open. Gauff is eagerly awaiting who might attend her next match.
