At just 18, Coco Gauff has become one of the players to watch out for in women’s tennis. Her stature has grown leaps and bounds over the past few years. Further, in her maiden Grand Slam main draw appearance, she knocked out Venus Williams in the first round of the 2019 Wimbledon Championships. With that win, she caught everyone’s eye and was set for big things in the coming years.

Gauff is enjoying one of the best seasons of her tennis career. Earlier this year, she reached the summit clash of the French Open in both singles and women’s doubles. Additionally, she is in the top 10 of the WTA rankings in both formats of the game, occupying the 8th and the 5th position in singles and doubles, respectively. Recently, she hit out at a social media user for an inappropriate comment.

And you really thought you ate. That’s why nobody hits yo line GOOFY. thx for the follow back tho. get off the couch and touch some grass. meat riding and hating is an illness.

Gauff didn’t take the person’s comment lightly, who criticized her for not winning any major titles. The Instagram user had earlier commented, “You got time to dress like a clown but not bag any grand slams? Hahaha. And people really thought you were the next Serena.”
