Coco Gauff Shouts Out Justin And Hailey Bieber After US Open Win

by

19-year-old tennis superstar Coco Gauff has been playing some of the best tennis of her career at the 2023 US Open. The world #6 has faced very few tests through the first three rounds. After cruising past German qualifier Laura Siegemund in the first round and beating Russia’s Mirra Andreeva in the second, she found herself drawn against world #32 Elise Mertens in the third round. After dropping the first set, Gauff rallied to win 3-6, 6-3, 6-0.

Amid the packed crowd at the Arther Ashe Stadium were Justin and Hailey Bieber. The Grammy winner, 29, was seen donning a polkda dot baseball cap and pair of pink alien glasses completing the outfit with blue jeans as well as a pair of white vest. Meanwhile, his wife rocked a black leather jacket which she paired with a white tank top and gold earrings. The Biebers were joined at various points during the match by Frances Tiafoe and Jimmy Butler.

Gauff addressed the famous faces in the audience after securing the win against Mertens. “I was definitely starstruck with Justin Bieber,” Gauff told the crowd. “Never Say Never was one of my favorite songs when I was a kid. And then Baby, Oh Baby… I could go through all his songs. And then Hailey coming too — I guess it was a little date night for them which is really cool.” Gauff added more on Instagram, sharing a picture of Bieber cheering with the caption “He was pumped, I love it.”

Gauff will face her hardest challenge in the next round. She will face former world #1 and two-time US Open finalist Caroline Wozniacki. However, after retiring in early 2022, Wozniacki announced her return to pro tennis in an essay published in Vogue. Wozniacki has made a stunning return to the pro scene, including taking down world #11 Petra Kvitová in the second round. Wozniacki vs. Gauff is scheduled for September 3.

“Thank you daddy, I know you’re watching. Thanks mom,” Williams said. “Everyone that’s here, that’s been on my side, for so many years, decades…These are happy tears, I guess. I don’t know.

No, That Wasn’t Beyoncé Cheering On Serena Williams At The US Open — It Was Laverne Cox

The US Open is always a big deal for tennis fans as the final Grand Slam tournament of the year, but this year, it’s extra special, as it is superstar Serena Williams’ final tournament before she retires at the age of 40. On Monday, she played her first match of the tournament against Danka Kovinić with a surfeit of celebrity supporters such as Anthony Anderson, Mike Tyson, Queen Latifah, and Spike Lee in attendance. One who was not, though, is Beyoncé… but that didn’t stop some commentators on television and Twitter from believing she was.

As it turned out, the reason for the confusion was actress Laverne Cox, who multiple broadcasts confused for the Renaissance singer. To be fair, Cox was — who actually previously worked with Beyoncé — wearing a mask and has been known to wear similarly-colored tresses to Queen Bey. That didn’t stop those who could tell the difference from correcting those who couldn’t in the most hilarious ways.

Although Beyoncé wasn’t in attendance in person, she was in spirit, as the US Open broadcast of the match opened with a tribute video to Serena featuring Beyoncé’s song “I Was Here.” Beyoncé also recently narrated a Gatorade ad detailing Williams’ accomplishments on and off the court. The singer previously contributed the song “Be Alive” to the biopic about Williams’ father, King Richard, performing the song from the Compton tennis courts where Williams got her start to open the 2022 Oscars.

Cox, meanwhile, enjoyed the attention, posting a compilation of the mistaken identity tweets on Instagram with the caption “not me getting mistaken for @Beyonce at the #USOpen tonight then trending on Twitter as the internet cackles over the mistaken identity. These tweets are funny as hell. Enjoy!!!”

Serena Williams plays her second match tomorrow (August 31) at 7 pm ET / 4 pm PT against Anett Kontaveit.

Serena Williams Wows U.S. Open In A Custom Diamond-Encrusted Dress

Serena Williams 2

From beads to skin-tight dresses Serena Williams has been making fashion statements on the court throughout her legendary career.  And last night she didn’t disappoint debuting an instantly iconic outfit during last night’s U.S. Open. The 23-time Grand Slam winner said farewell and bid the tennis world a heartfelt adieu in high fashion and in true Serena style.   Serena, who defeated her opponent Danka Kovinic in the first match and what is expected to be her final professional tennis tournament, began her “evolution” (Serena refuses to call it retirement)  wearing NikeCourt Flare 2 sneakers that included a diamond-encrusted swoosh, solid gold shoelace tags and 400 hand-set diamonds—and that’s just on Serena’s sneakers. 

The outfit also included a removable cape and a matching jacket with star-shaped embellishments. The matching mommy and me Nike dress-her daughter Olympia was wearing the same replica, had diamonds and crystals embedded on the outside with a matching jacket and a tote bag.  

The figure skating-inspired Nike dress that she designed also in collaboration with her ‘Serena Williams Jewelry’ company was constructed of a six-layer skirt to commemorate her six singles at the U.S. Open throughout her career, only playing with two of the layers stating that wearing all the layers would have been “too heavy to play in” as she told Gayle King in an interview after the match. “For her latest outfit for Flushing, Serena took control, providing the full vision and dialing the details for a thrilling design created to make her feel comfortable and confident,”  Nike said in a statement.  According to Nike, Serena’s diamond-encrusted bodice  “refracts light and shines bright, alluding to the night sky at the tournament.
