The 19-year-old American tennis star clapped back after the husband of her Australian Open opponent, Ukrainian Marta Kostyuk, seemingly tried to troll Gauff during their quarterfinal match on Monday.
Gauff defeated Kostyuk, 7-6 (6), 6-7 (3), 6-2, in a match that lasted over three hours to advance to the semifinal.

Kostyuk’s husband, Heorhii, was seen courtside wearing a hat that said “shake your cocos” with an image of a coconut broken in half, seemingly poking fun at Gauff’s first name.
After her win, Gauff posted an Instagram Story captioned “shakey shake” with a heart and laughing face emojis.
