Coco Gauff has begun her favorite court season and is amalgamating the best of her talent, as well as a bias for the court to supplement her performance at Eastbourne International. However, a slip or two is excusable for the 19-year-old tennis sensation, especially when she is winning. But not for some who could not excuse such a mistake from a world no. 7 player.

Gauff was playing against the British tennis player Jodie Anna Burrage and the best part was her dominance on the court. But a slight slip during a serve proved too embarrassing for the player.

Coco Gauff gets embarrassed after a hilarious reaction by a spectator at the Eastbourne International 

The American tennis sensation Gauff has shown impeccable growth on the court. With three singles and eight doubles titles under her name, Gauff is now aiming to add one more to her shelf by playing at Eastbourne International.

However, when Gauff was going against the British player Burrage in the quarter-finals, she faced a slip of the hand. While serving, she misjudged the ball for a second. However, she quickly regained it back. However, there was a spectator who did not let go of this “silly” mistake of Gauff without making her feel embarrassed.

Seagulls, a prominent part of Eastbourne, are regular guests at the stadium too. Hence, when Gauff made the mistake, a seagull “laughed” loudly. Even if the seagull did not mean to, he sent the crowd into a spree of laughter. Even Gauff could not resist laughing at the joke.

Now Gauff gears up for her semi-final match against her compatriot and doubles partner, Jessica Pegula. Top-ranked American players going against each other has always brought a treat for their fans.
