The American tennis player secured a victory against her opponent with a score of 2:1 (5:7, 6:2, 6:2).
After her triumph, Gauff approached the camera to leave her autograph but instead wrote: "RIP TikTok USA."
On January 19, a law took effect in the USA, banning the operation of the social network for security reasons. According to American officials, TikTok, owned by the Chinese company ByteDance, potentially allows Beijing to collect data on Americans.
It is worth noting that in the next round of the Australian Open 2025, Gauff will compete against Spanish tennis player Paula Badosa.
