The 19-year old is currently competing at the Miami Open in Florida, and admitted she would be distracting herself playing Fortnite while her friends are out partying in the city.

"I won't be doing too much here, honestly, because I've seen the city so many times," revealed Gauff. "And I feel like now it's spring break so everybody's, you know, partying and I can't do that at the tournament and I'm underage still, so yeah.

"I think I'm just gonna be chilling in my hotel room, tell my brother to bring the Xbox from home, so I'm probably gonna be playing some Fortnite or something."

Gauff stated she was thrilled to be playing in her hometown, especially with the matches at the stadium of her favorite NFL team, the Miami Dolphins.

"It's so special to play here, I live only 45 minutes away, so I’m just really happy to be at a home tournament, in front of family and friends and enjoy this home crowd, especially in a stadium where I root for my favorite NFL team, too," she added.
