American tennis star Coco Gauff has played fine tennis in the past few months. After having a great 2022 season, the American rising star made a solid start to her Australian Open campaign and made it to the fourth round. However, Latvian tennis star Jelena Ostapenko got the better of her to secure a place in the quarterfinal.

While her singles campaign ended disappointingly, the American still has a chance to win the doubles title. Addressing the media after her loss, Gauff was visibly sad. However, she showed great maturity while handling the questions.

Fans laud brave Coco Gauff for her maturity

Only an athlete knows the hard work behind preparing for any tournament. As the Australian Open is the first Grand Slam event of the year, everyone looks to make a winning start. However, it’s a part of not only sport but life. We don’t always achieve what we want and the current world number 7 understands that really well.

After putting in all those hard yards, it is disappointing to miss your goal. However, it’s equally important to move on. After losing her fourth-round match in the Australian Open, Gauff was visibly in agony. The 18-year-old wiped her tears as she struggled to control her emotions while answering the media questions.

While she had the option to stop it then and there, the brave 18-year-old decided to keep going. As the clip went viral on the internet, fans are lauding the American tennis star.

Former world number one Victoria Azarenka was among the first to acknowledge the maturity of the young tennis star. She also lauded her and wished her luck for the future.

Here’s how other fans reacted.

While most of the fans lauded Gauff for her maturity, a few also said that it’s perfectly normal to be emotional. Often a person showing emotions is termed as soft, but for an 18-year-old or even a grown-up, it is very normal to feel the pain of failing to achieve something you have planned.
