Sure, there still was plenty of time to come back Monday night in Arthur Ashe Stadium, but this felt pivotal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/01\/74814847-12455065-image-a-19_1693269224279.jpg\" height=\"442\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Actor Danny DeVito appeared to be impressed with what he saw at the US Open on Monday\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/01\/74815033-12455065-image-a-23_1693269291706.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>British and American media executive Anna Wintour looks on during first-round action\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The 19-year-old from Florida had lost her past two Grand Slam matches \u2014 including a first-round exit at Wimbledon last month \u2014 and did not want to leave quietly or quickly this time.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>With thousands of partisan fans getting rowdier by the moment, the sixth-seeded Gauff finally converted on her eighth break point of that game, and wound up beating German qualifier Laura Siegemund 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 and reaching the second round at Flushing Meadows.<\/p>\n<p>Once she had the lead, the biggest frustration for Gauff was the way Siegemund would make her wait to play the next point.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Siegemund repeatedly took her sweet time and, early in the last set, was warned by chair umpire Marijana Veljovic. Brad Gilbert, who is one of two coaches working with Gauff lately, shook his head at how long it took Veljovic to intervene, and his reaction drew a smile from Gauff.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;She&#8217;s never ready when I&#8217;m serving. &#8230; How is this fair?&#8217; Gauff told Veljovic. &#8216;I&#8217;m going a normal speed. Ask any ref here. &#8230; I&#8217;ve been quiet the whole match. &#8230; Now it&#8217;s ridiculous. I don&#8217;t care what she&#8217;s doing on her serve, but (on) my serve, she has to be ready.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/01\/74814935-12455065-image-a-20_1693269229007.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>British singer, songwriter, and record producer Seal, looks on during first-round play\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/01\/74814939-12455065-image-a-21_1693269255406.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>American actor Alec Baldwin and his Massachusetts-born wife Hilaria attend the US Open\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/08\/29\/01\/74815219-12455065-image-a-24_1693269725585.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>American former World Cup alpine ski racer Lindsey Vonn (R) and boyfriend Diego Osorio<\/p>\n<p>Gauff wound up dropping that game \u2014 but then not another. Later, Siegemund was docked a point for delaying, which put Gauff up 5-1. That prompted Siegemund to argue her case to Veljovic \u2014 &#8216;I can&#8217;t go to the towel anymore?&#8217; \u2014 and drew some jeers from the crowd.<\/p>\n<p>There was another hiccup for Gauff toward the finish: She served for the match at 5-2 in the third, but double-faulted three times. Those were her only double-faults of the entire 2-hour, 51-minute match.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, she held on, and it was Gauff&#8217;s 12th victory in 13 matches since the disappointing showing at the All England Club. This recent run includes the two biggest titles of the American&#8217;s career and a win over No. 1 Iga Swiatek.<\/p>\n<p>Gauff and Swiatek could meet in the quarterfinals next week.<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/tennis\/article-12455065\/US-Open-Coco-Gauff-Barack-Michelle-Obama-Mike-Tyson-Alec-Hilaria-Baldwin-Anna-Wintour-Danny-DeVito.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>US Open: Coco Gauff attracts A-Listers Barack and Michelle Obama, Mike Tyson, Alec and Hilaria Baldwin, Anna&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
