Coming into the clay season, Coco Gauff has started off with a bang. Currently playing in the Madrid Open, the young American star has booked her place in the third round, thanks to a straight-set win over Ukrainian Dayana Yastremska. However, unlike her first-round double bagel win, she did not perform the same way. After securing a comfortable 5-0 right at the start of the set, she stumbled and it felt like she clearly lost her form.

This allowed her opponent to take the score to 5-4. However, despite a massive 8 double faults, she managed to come out on top and pull the win in her favor. While she managed to take the win in her favor it became quite evident that the fans were not liking what they saw during the first set.

The fans were clearly not happy with what they were seeing on the court. While Coco Gauff did not bring out her best tennis, the fans took a moment to slam the 20-year-old star. One fan came ahead and suggested that he was not at all happy with what he saw. “I have no words with what I’m seeing from @CocoGauff right now,” said the fan who showed clear disappointment.

This fan also seemed confused with the way Gauff started to serve which gave her opponent the chance to make a comeback. “Okay, I don’t know what happened to Coco Gauff’s serve. She’s been hitting too many double faults lately…” said the fan who pointed out at the number of double faults that Gauff did.
