Coco Gauff has weighed in on the climate change protests that disrupted her U.S. Open semifinal match against Karolna Muchov on Thursday night.

The 19-year-old Florida native was asked during a post-match press conference to share her thoughts on the protest, which took place in the stands of Arthur Ashe Stadium in New York City. She told reporters that she thought the demonstration was an example of the many defining moments of protest throughout history.

I believe in climate change, she said. I dont really know exactly what they were protesting I know it was about the environment and I 100% believe in that. I think theres things we can do better. I know the tournaments are doing things to do better for the environment.

Would I prefer it not happening in my match? 100%, yeah, she continued. Im not going to sit here and lie. But, you know, it is what it is.

Gauff later emphasized that although she wished the demonstration hadnt happened during her match, she wasnt pissed at the protesters.
