Meaning behind Coco Gauff’s ‘When I die’ victory message at Miami Open & how it ties back to Florida
Coco Gauff signed the camera with the lyrics of Florida-based singer Dominic Fike after her win at the second round of the Miami Open. The 21-year-old is currently gearing up for her upcoming match.
Gauff bested Maria Sakkari in the second round of the tournament with a score of 6-2, 6-4. The American qualified for the third round and will be competing against Magda Linette on March 23, 2025. Following her latest victory, Gauff signed the camera with a unique message that read:
“When I die bury me in the sun – Fike.”
This is a line from the lyrics of Dominic Fike’s song, Sunburn, which she used to showcase her love for Florida, as the song is completely connected to the state and the singer is also Florida-based.
A few hours after this victory and signing the camera, Gauff issued a correction in her message as she mistakenly wrote the wrong lyrics on the camera. Instead of lay, she wrote ‘bury’ and revealed this mistake on her Instagram story, sharing a picture of herself signing the camera. The caption read:
“Lol lay **** not bury.”
