Tennis World Fumes at ‘Fraud’ American Coco Gauff as She Gets Brownie Points Despite Consecutive Losses at WTA Finals 2022

American tennis star Coco Gauff has done exceedingly well this year. The 18-year-old has shown great consistency and is getting rewards in the form of ranking points. The World number four also earned her first qualification for the year-end WTA Finals. However, she has not done well in the tournament so far.

Playing in the round-robin league of the WTA Finals, Gauff has performed poorly and lost all three of her matches. The latest one is an absolute drubbing from Iga Swiatek. However, she still has earned points in the last three matches. This did not go well with the fans. Here’s how they reacted.

Fans fume over silly WTA Finals ranking points rule

In the ongoing WTA Finals, the players receive 125 points irrespective of the result of the match. This way, Gauff has earned 375 points even after losing three straight matches at the WTA Finals. Visibly unhappy with the rule and its outcome, a few fans expressed their disappointment on Twitter. Here’s how they reacted.

Pointing out the flaw, a fan tweeted:

Iga Swiatek thrashes Coco Gauff yet again

World number 1 Iga Swiatek and World number 4 Coco Gauff clashed for the fifth time in the last two years. The story seems to be the same as Gauff. Every time she faces Swiatek, the 18-year-old has seemed pretty helpless. In another one-sided contest at the WTA Finals, Swiatek absolutely thrashed Gauff in straight sets.

While Gauff showed some resistance in the first set that Swiatek took 6-3, she was absolutely clueless in the second set. World number one handed her another bagel and won the match easily.

Not very long ago, a similar thing happened in the quarterfinals of the San Diego Open. While Gauff is a great player herself, it will be interesting to see if she can overcome this streak and register her first win against the Pole in the near future.
