Coco Gauff rallied for a win on Friday night, securing her spot in the 16th round for the third time in a major this year.
But in case that wasn’t motivation enough, someone in the crowd gave her an even bigger “Purpose” to win — pop star Justin Bieber.
“Oh yeah, I definitely saw who was there,” Gauff said on the ESPN broadcast after her third-round win. “I thought I cannot lose in front of Justin Bieber. I didn’t lose a game after I saw that. “I got a little tight when I first saw him, then I remembered President Obama and Michelle Obama were at my first round match.”
