Although the teenage phenom Coco Gauff was eliminated from the United States Open, an entirely different Coco endures: a furry, 7-pound brown dog belonging to Bianca Andreescu.

Andreescu’s mother and father, Maria and Nicu, have been bringing the poodle into Arthur Ashe Stadium to watch Bianca’s matches (she plays Serena Williams in the final on Saturday).

According to Nicu Andreescu, the couple was told that dogs are not allowed in seats, after they had brought her to Bianca’s quarterfinal against Elise Mertens. But they were told they could bring Coco into the stadium for Bianca’s semifinal on Thursday against Belinda Bencic. In order to avoid a canine code violation, they had to keep Coco on the floor, at their feet, which was a little distracting for them.

“We had to keep our hands on her the whole time because she likes to jump up and watch,” Nicu said with a laugh.
