Gauff, McNally celebrate Oz run with dances

The 2010s on the internet were dominated by Twitter and Instagram. But now, a new decade is upon us, and so is a generation of players influenced by the video app TikTok.

Coco Gauff and Caty McNally are only 15 and 18 years old, but they've already done a whole lot of winning together. The pair won the girls' doubles championship at the US Open in 2018, and last year, they picked up two titles on the WTA Tour, in Washington and Luxembourg.

In their first Australian Open, the team snagged their opening win, 6-3, 6-2, over Karolina Muchova and Jil Teichmann.

And afterward, they celebrated with a drawn-out TikTok-inspired dance. This is just a sample:

The ending looks to be inspired by Bob and Mike Bryan, who just finished their last Australian Open with a third-round loss.

"I really like dancing. There's this dance called the 'Renegade' that's really famous, so we do that," Gauff said after her win over Venus Williams.

On Gauff's quite-active TikTok account, her and McNally do dances together, including after their recent semifinal run in Auckland as well as after winning the title in Luxembourg.

Gauff's most-liked TikTok by far, though, stars her mom:

Dancing aside, it's been a strong Australian Open for both Gauff and McNally. McNally won three qualifying matches and then beat Samantha Stosur in the main draw before going out to Zhang Shuai.

Gauff, of course, defeated Venus Williams, Sorana Cirstea and Naomi Osaka before falling in three sets to Sofia Kenin–who's into her first major semifinal.

Team McCoco would reach the doubles quarterfinals, and continued to improve their on-court celebrations:

Their latest one paid tribute to Kobe Bryant.

The teenagers would upset No. 8 seeds Demi Schuurs and Kveta Peschke and No. 10 seeds Shuko Aoyama and Ena Shibahara, before falling to No. 2 seeds Timea Babos and Kristina Mladenovic on Tuesday.

The season is so young, just like these two budding stars, so there's a lot more potential opportunities for collaborative dances.
