Coco Gauff: Coco Gauff urged for more privacy for players, saying that some moments should not be shared publicly after behind-the-scenes footage captured her breaking a racquet following a tough loss in the Australian Open quarterfinals against Elina Svitolina.
“I tried to go somewhere where there was no cameras,” Gauff said, expressing discomfort at the incident being aired on television and shared across social media. “Certain moments – the same thing happened to Aryna after I played her in the US Open final – I feel like they don’t need to broadcast. Maybe some conversations can be had, because I feel like, at this tournament, the only private place we have is the locker room.”
After losing 6-1, 6-2 to Elina Svitolina in 59 minutes in the Australian Open, Coco Gauff displayed frustration. The American's match was marred by five double faults and 26 unforced errors, and only recorded three winners to Svitolina's dominating performance, which sent her through to the Australian Open semifinals for the first time in her career.
