Young tennis star Coco Gauff said that she was channeling JT and Yung Miami of the City Girls after her win over Zhang Shuai in Round 4 of the 2022 US Open on Sunday. The 18-year-old was fielding questions from the press when she was asked about some of her gestures during the match.
“That was a City Girls’ ‘period,’” she explained. “It’s a City Girls summer. Period. That’s what it is. JT, Yung Miami, you don’t know? I got my long nails, it’s supposed to be like that. It’s feeding off the crowd.”
Gauff later elaborated on Twitter while responding to a fan: “lol you’re right… it wasn’t meant to come off any other way. I had a city girls song stuck in my head the whole match. So I was saying PERIODT in my head.”
The City Girls weren’t the only artists to get a shout-out from Gauff during the event. When asked about being at the tournament, she admitted that the only “downside” was missing out on concerts by The Weeknd and Bad Bunny.
“There’s some downsides,” she said. “You’re losing a lot every week, but the ups outweigh the bad. I guess the downside is I missed so many concerts at home. I missed The Weeknd, I miss Bad Bunny, I missed so many questions, so that’s the only downside.”
Coco Gauff repeated history in 2020 as she returned to the Australia Open and issued out a win against Venus Williams just half a year after defeating the older Williams at Wimbledon.
“That was really difficult. She played really well,” Gauff said post-match. “[…] I definitely was more confident this time. I think I was used to playing on big courts, so the crowd – I guess the size of the crowd didn’t startle me as much as last time. Definitely, a bit more positive coming into this match.”
With her win, Gauff became only the 4th woman in the past 30 years to win 6 or more major matches before turning 16.
Elsewhere in the tournament, the favorites of Roger Federer, Noami Osaka, and Serena Williams all come out on top in their respective matches as Osaka took down the Czech Republic’s Marie Bouzkova while Williams defeated Russia’s Anastasia Potapova. Federer claimed his victory by beating out Steve Johnson of the USA.
“Definitely, it was really tough for me trying to control my nerves,” said Osaka of her win in round one. “I’m really glad I was able to finish it in two.”
