After Coco Gauff got the better of compatriot Frances Tiafoe at a rally during a charity match at the Australian Open, Tiafoe joked that Gauff will never let him forget the embarrassing moment.

The duo were present at the Rod Laver Arena on Wednesday as part of the Tennis Plays for Peace charity matches. Gauff paired up with Dayana Yastremska and Tiafoe with Marta Kostyuk as they played in front of a packed stadium in Melbourne.

During the match, Tiafoe proclaimed that he would take Gauff down at a rally to which the confident teenager replied that she would surely win it. After a few returns, it was Gauff who won the battle. The crowd burst into laughter as Tiafoe stood in embarrassment.

After the match, Tiafoe took to social media to share a clip of the incident and wrote:

"Damn @espn @espnw y'all both got on it she ain't never gonna let me leave it down @cocogauff"

Gauff also shared a video of the incident on her social media platform to express her happiness at getting the better of her compatriot.

"waited my whole life for this," Gauff tweeted.

She also joked that the whole incident was captured in a "4K" video quality.

"in 4k too @bigfoe1998," Gauff wrote on her Instagram stories.

The American duo will now shift their focus to the year's first Grand Slam, which commences Down Under on January 16.
