Coco Gauff Reacts to TikTok Ban After Australian Open Quarterfinal Win

The U.S. Supreme Court's TikTok ban impacts millions, including Gauff, as she advances to face Paula Badosa in Melbourne.

Coco Gauff, a TikTok enthusiast with over 750,000 followers, expressed disappointment over the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to ban the app due to national security concerns.
The ban, which took effect Saturday, removed TikTok from U.S. app stores and made it inaccessible to users, even for Gauff in Australia.
Gauff marked her fourth-round Australian Open victory with a message on a camera lens reading 'RIP TikTok USA' and shared her thoughts on Instagram.
Despite her sadness over the ban, Gauff remains focused on her Australian Open campaign, preparing to face Paula Badosa in the quarterfinals.
The ban has sparked mixed reactions, with some athletes like Gauff and Aryna Sabalenka highlighting TikTok's role in connecting with fans and creators.
