Breaking News: Coco Gauff broke crying rule with dad at US Open – ‘I was not expecting that’…see more

Gauff later explained the reason behind her emotional outburst when a video of her as a nine-year-old dancing in the same stadium where she won the US Open surfaced.

“If you’ve been following me for a while you just know this has been something the world has put on me at a young age,” she shared.

“I’m just happy that I was finally able to overcome all that to do it. So that’s where the tears came from and just a little bit of shock when I finished the match.

Y’all saw that video where I was nine years old, I think that girl was crying, to be honest.”
