Kim Clijsters, former World No.1, has praised the efforts of Coco Gauff who has been one of the main tennis players to highlight the issues of racial discrimination after the killing of George Floyd in Minneapolis.
Gauff had been urging people to bring a change and did so at a peaceful Florida rally in Delray Beach, her hometown making a speech.
She urged people to register to vote and help bring this change to fruition which prompted a reply from the Belgian.
"Thank you for being a girl that my daughter will learn from and look up to. I promise that we will keep on teaching our kids the right thing to do so that they can pass it on too. It all starts at home," said Clijsters on Twitter.
She has also been praised by American tennis legend Chris Evert in recent times calling her a 'future leader, role model and activist'.

- Players need to STOP TRYING TO JUSTIFY THEIR INCLUSION! They are not ambassadors for women in Saudi Arabia, they are not politicians, and they will never make a difference for females in that 'culture'. This little tennis "tournament" changes nothing. Players were lured by the money, opted to participate, and should just keep their predictable excuses and Women's Freedom Fairy Tales to themselves. Period. Like most things in Life -- one cannot make an argument relating to the Saudi Regime and, at the same time, triple your bank account with their "gifts".
