Coco Gauff drew a star-studded crowd including Barack and Michelle Obama, Mike Tyson, Danny DeVito, Anna Wintour and Alec Baldwin for her first-round match against Laura Siegemund at the US Open on Monday night at the US Open.
Gauff did not disappoint and overcame a difficult first set, winning 3-6, 6-2, 6-4 and advancing to the second round of the tournament.
The former president smiled as he donned a gray jacket and white button-down shirt, while the former first lady looked absorbed in the game in a black throw over a blue dress.
Wintour, a frequent visitor, wore her signature sunglasses and a floral red, blue and black shirt, while Alec Baldwin, along with his wife Hilaria Baldwin, wore a suit and tie for the occasion.
Tyson appeared to be in good spirits alongside his wife Lakiha Spicer as he opted for a blue blazer to watch Gauff. The former heavyweight champion competed in all 12 rounds of the US Open in 2022.
