When it comes to Grand Slam tournaments, American tennis<\/a> star Coco Gauff doesn\u2019t mess around with her look.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The U.S. Open<\/a> is the calendar finale of the Grand Slams each year, and she said that she\u2019s planned her outfits for tournaments like this in advance.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As some questioned why she gets all glammed up \u2013 having her hair and nails done for the tournament, along with coordinated outfits \u2013 Gauff defended the choice.\u00a0<\/p>\n

As the saying goes: “Look good, play good.”<\/p>\n

“I don\u2019t know why it\u2019s such a big deal what women choose to do with their on-court or off-court looks,” Gauff said in a Vogue Beauty Secrets<\/a> video.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m like, \u2018I\u2019m a human. Tennis is what I do, but it\u2019s not who I am. And I like to express my way just like any other person likes to express themselves.\u2019”<\/p>\n

Gauff added that it\u2019s “very rare” she has all three areas of her look planned \u2013 hair, nails and outfit \u2013 but she has focused on that just as much as preparing for her opponents.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“For me, that\u2019s just showing up on court being the best version of myself. But I definitely think if women want to do that, they should be celebrated and not persecuted for it,” Gauff said.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Gauff, who is ranked third in women\u2019s singles at the U.S. Open, won her first two matches to move on to the third round this Saturday against No. 28 Magdalena Fr\u0119ch.\u00a0<\/p>\n

During her second-round match against Croatian Donna Veki\u0107, which ended in a straight-sets victory for Gauff, 7-6 (7-5), 6-2, she sported a red New Balance top with a red band around her waist, accompanied by a white skirt. She also had on a maroon headband and arm band during the match.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It was the same look she had in her first-round match against Australia\u2019s Ajla Tomljanovic.\u00a0<\/p>\n
