She showed as much following her win over Lois Boisson in the semifinal on Thursday.

Gauff needed just one hour and nine minutes to take down her French opponent, winning in straight sets, 6-1, 6-2. Boisson made history as the first woman in 35 years to reach the semifinals at her first Grand Slam tournament.

Her incredible performance aside, though, what got fans talking about Gauff even more was her celebration after the match. As she exited Court Philippe Chatrier, the youngster showed her dance moves à la Aryna Sabalenka.
