Paige Bueckers, Azzi Fudd support Coco Gauff at US Open

Coco Gauff advanced to the fourth round of the US Open on Friday in front of UConn stars Paige Bueckers and Azzi Fudd .

The two members of the UConn Huskies women's basketball team were seated in Gauff's player box. During the match, Bueckers was seen snapping a photo of the court with her phone and chuckling alongside Fudd.

As Bueckers chatted with Gauff after her win, American Ben Shelton fist-bumped the Wooden Award winner before taking the court to face Frances Tiafoe .

Gauff defeated No. 27-ranked Elina Svitolina 3-6, 6-3, 6-3.

Bueckers uploaded a video of Gauff's deciding point on her Instagram story with the caption: "Let's goooooooo" with a goat emoji. She showed her excitement for Gauff and cheered for her on X.

This isn't the first time Bueckers has shown her support for Gauff.

During last year's US Open singles final, the Huskies guard wrote on X: "How do you say Coco is HOOPIN, tennis version?" Gauff ended up defeating Aryna Sabalenka 2-6, 6-3, 6-2 to win her first Grand Slam.

Bueckers averaged 21.9 points and 5.2 rebounds, while Fudd averaged 11 points last season, only appearing in two games because of a torn ACL and meniscus . UConn fell in the Final Four to Caitlin Clark and the Iowa Hawkeyes .

Both players are entering their fourth seasons with the Huskies.
