Coco Gauff and Leylah Fernandez faced each other in Atlanta in an exhibition match at the Atlanta Open at Atlantic Station on Saturday. Gauff and Fernandez have made the finals of a Grand Slam Tournament within the last two years but had significant losses at Wimbledon this month.

The competitive match ended with a win from Gauff with a 6-3, 6-3 score. According to Popculture, the game was the prelude to the men’s tournament, which is part of the USTA’s U.S. Open series, which will segway into the U.S. Open.

Giving it their all, Gauff and Fernandez battled on the court while having fun. The young women spoke with audience members, and Guaff broke into a small dance number, showing off her ATL swag.

“They made me the person who I am a hundred percent,” Gauff told reporters after the match. “Moving from Atlanta to South Florida was a big change. I love the culture here the city, and being a Black woman in tennis, having the support from all the people in Atlanta means a lot to me. Truly.”

Gauff is giving back to her hometown. She has teamed up with Storm Reid to revitalize a public park. Reid is also an Atlanta native. They plan to invest in renovating Brownwood Park‘s sports facilities. Gauff’s assistance will offer the park a second chance.

Despite losing the game, Fernandez, who has won two tournaments in her career, said she had fun playing against her opponent but was overall taken by the energy from attendees.

“It’s an exhibition,” she told reporters. “I had a lot of fun playing Coco and especially in front of an amazing crowd. I think there’s some fun moments. There’s some definitely good points, and I think there’s some shots that we tried and missed, but I think it was a good atmosphere altogether.”
