After facing a loss to Iga Swiatek in the Beijing Open semi-final, Gauff has been receiving a lot of criticism.

Stubbs wrote, “The crap I read on Twitter is 🤯! People commenting on Coco being this or that as well as other players. Like seriously, u people think you’re tough writing as an unknown loser who puts a player down but have never put themselves out there in these kinds of moments! 🤯 get a life!”
