Former President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle were in attendance at the US Open to watch Coco Gauff's first-round victory. After the match, Gauff met with the Obamas and received some advice from them. Gauff expressed her excitement at meeting them and said she will never forget that moment. The former first lady told Gauff that it's good to speak up for herself, which Gauff appreciated as she had a discussion with the chair umpire about her opponent's delay tactics between points.

The Obamas were amongst the A-listers present to support Gauff, with Michelle Obama looking elegant in a structured denim dress and raffia wedge heels. Meanwhile, Barack Obama opted for a cool and casual look with an open-collar white shirt and khaki varsity jacket. Michelle Obama also gave a speech during the event to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the US Open paying equal prize money to men and women.

Overall, it was a memorable evening for Coco Gauff as she not only secured a victory but also had the opportunity to meet and receive advice from the Obamas.
