The paramedics took care of the situation, and the play resumed quickly. After completing the match, Gauff, unsurprisingly, inquired about the fan. She completely stole the show in her on-court interview, especially while speaking on the fan incident. Well, Gauff has always excelled in the on-court interviews, but this one was quite special.

Coco Gauff’s mesmerizing on-court interview

After speaking about her encounter with Bencic, Gauff focused on the play’s interruption. She was quite concerned about the fan and said, “I was making sure that it wasn’t something cardiac. I just took a CPR class, so if they needed me to jump in I was ready I have my certification. But yeah, everybody in the crowd should take the class. It only took 90 minutes.” The entire crowd stood up to applaud Gauff for her words.

She did a fine job in encouraging the crowd to take a CPR class. One may never know how it might help to save a life. The World No. 7 also further weighed in on this topic in the post-match press conference.

Gauff comments on the importance of CPR

In the post-match press conference, when Gauff was asked why she booked a CPR class? Gauff revealed that she always wanted to learn CPR. She said, ” I had something similar happen, not to someone that I know, but it happened to — I was practicing, and a guy, unfortunately, had, like, cardiac arrest, and he ended up didn’t making it, yeah. And my dad had to do CPR on him.” This incident motivated Gauff to learn CPR. It was a story from three years ago, but Gauff only recently took the CPR class on her flight back home from Wimbledon.

She then mentioned her doubles partner Jessica Pegula, who almost lost her mother to cardiac arrest. Pegula’s sister had to give their mother a CPR, and she eventually survived. Similarly, Gauff also worries for her cousins, who are quite young. She does not want to be in a helpless situation in case of unfortunate circumstances.
