American tennis star Coco Gauff shared a heartfelt message on a TV camera lens after winning her match at the Australian Open, mourning the loss of TikTok in the United States. The 20-year-old, who is currently ranked No. 3 in the world, wrote "RIP TikTok USA" and drew a heartbreak emoji following her 5-7, 6-2, 6-1 victory over Belinda Bencic.
Gauff's match finished just an hour after TikTok was removed from prominent app stores in the US on Saturday. The popular social media platform was set to be banned under a US federal law that required its China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the platform or face a ban in the country.
