After his spectacular US Open Coco Gauff souvenir failure, Spike Lee becomes viral.
Spike Lee has long been a Madison Square Garden Knicks sideline regular.
He became viral again after making a scene watching Coco Gauff at the US Open.
Lee watched Gauff's Sunday fourth-round play against Caroline Wozniacki. Gauff hit a forehand smash Wozniacki missed.
The ball hit Lee in the stands after bouncing hard off the court.
Incredulous Spike Lee searched his surroundings for the ball on TV replays.
Unfortunately, he lost it. Worse, someone else probably got the keepsake.
Coco Gauff advanced to the 2023 US Open quarterfinals by defeating Caroline Wozniacki 6-3, 3-6, 6-1. Coco Gauff, 19, became the first American teenager to do it in successive.
since Serena Williams in the early 2000s. Since Miami Heat great Jimmy Butler strengthened her mental game, Gauff has been on fire.
Since her sad Wimbledon first-round departure two months ago, she has won 15 of her last 16 matches.
Gauff faces the winner of the Iga Swiatek-Jelena Ostapenko fourth-round match.
