Coco Gauff hit back at Marta Kostyuk’s husband after beating the Ukrainian as the American was the one who got the last laugh.
During the Gauff and Kostyuk Australian Open quarterfinal match, the Ukrainian tennis star’s husband, Heorhii, wore a hat that had “shake your cocos” written on it. Also, the hat featured a coconut broken in half and many deemed the act an attempt to troll the top-ranked American tennis female.
As if this Coco Gauff -Marta Kostyuk match couldn’t get more bizarre, Kostyuk newly made spouse Heorhii with the bizarre “Shake your Cocos” hat.

Although it was a tough day at the office, Gauff avoided a surprise loss and managed to beat Kostyuk 7-6 (6) 6-7 (3) 6-2. After the match, Gauff delivered a dance on the court.
Following the match, Gauff posted about it on her Instagram Story and captioned the post: “Shakey shake.” Gauff’s post also included heart and laughing face emojis – a pretty evident clapback at Kostyuk’s husband.
