Coco Gauff was one of many fans around the world glued to their TV sets late into the night to witness the epic battle between Carlos Alcaraz and Jannik Sinner in the 2022 US Open quarterfinals on Wednesday. Alcaraz edged Sinner in an epic five-setter, but it was the shot-making and competitiveness on display from the very start that turned their fellow players into fans as well.
Gauff took to Twitter to react to the match as it went deep into the deciding set. The 18-year-old American star said that she had a flight to catch at 6 am but the quality of the match between Alcaraz and Sinner kept her wide awake past 2 am and in no mood to catch up on sleep.
"This match is insane. I leave at 6am for the airport but I refuse to sleep and miss this," Gauff wrote on Twitter during the quarterfinal match.
