TikTok ban: Coco Gauff ‘sad’ about ban but vows to ‘read more books’ after Australian Open win

Advertisements

Coco Gauff says she is “sad” TikTok is no longer usable in the United States – but it will help her “read more books instead”.

The American, 20, wrote “RIP TikTok USA” and drew a broken heart on a camera lens shortly after her win over Belinda Bencic in the Australian Open fourth round.

The social media platform has gone offline for American users, hours before a new law banning the platform was due to come into effect.

It has been banned in the US over concerns about its links to the Chinese government.

Speaking after her 5-7 6-2 6-1 win over Switzerland’s Bencic in Melbourne, third seed Gauff said: “Hopefully it comes back. It’s really sad. I love TikTok.”

“It’s like an escape. I honestly do that before matches.

“I guess it’ll force me to read books more, be more of a productive human probably. Maybe it’s a blessing in disguise.”
