Recently, teen tennis star Coco Gauff faced off against Marketa Vondrousova. It was a very competitive battle with both players fighting for every point. However, this match also one with many controversies.
In the last set, Coco saw Marketa using her racquet to catch the ball. As per the rules, this would be a fault but it wasn’t called. Later, the young American lost 2 consecutive points which led to a huge roar from Vondrousova.
Gauff wasn’t happy about this and in a later point, she aimed a backhand straight to the Czech’s body heating up things even more. Clearly, this was not the encounter that fans would have wanted.
