Women’s tennis viewership has always been in the talks when it comes to being compared with men’s tennis or other sports. And not just virtual viewership but actual people showing up in the stands has also been a part of this argument. Recently when Coco Gauff attended her 9-year-old brother Cameron Gauff’s football match, the number of people who showed up for the match was insane. And she felt that it was more than some of the tennis matches too. She posted a small video of the stadium and wrote, “More than at a 9u football game than some of the tennis hahah. Delray Rocks are legendary 3 years undefeated.”
