COCO LAMENTS LOSS OF TIKTOK

AUSTRALIAN OPEN By Gabe Matteazzi
Coco Gauff produced an impressive comeback win to reach the Australian Open quarterfinals on Sunday, eventually downing Belinda Bencic 5-7 6-2 6-1. The victory continued Gauff’s unbeaten start to 2025 and marked her ninth consecutive win to start the year.

Gauff, who has more than 750,000 followers on TikTok, was asked about her reaction to the ban in her postmatch press conference.

«I could not access it after my match. I honestly thought I would be able to get away with it because I was in Australia,» she said. «Hopefully it comes back. … I love TikTok. It’s like an escape. I honestly do that before matches. I guess it will force me to read books more – be more of a productive human, probably. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.»

US President-elect Donald Trump said he would “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from the ban after taking office on Monday, and Gauff said she had a feeling it would somehow come back.

Defending champion Aryna Sabalenka, who lives in Miami and is a huge TikTok fan, said she too was hoping for a quick resolution.
