"I don't get how it can bother someone": Coco Gauff dismisses issues with Aryna Sabalenka grunting during Australian Open loss
WTAFriday, 26 January 2024 at 02:30
America’s young tennis star Coco Gauff has rejected claims that
she was distracted by the grunt of the world number two Aryna Sabalenka in the
Australian Open semifinal defeat.
The 19-year-old is often regarded as one of the most
highly-rated players currently playing in the women’s singles category. Her
journey in the first Grand Slam of the year came to an end after losing in the
semifinal to Sabalenka in straight sets with a score of 7-6, 6-4.
Gauff, while talking to the media after the match, stated
that she was not distracted by the grunt of the current world number two in the
contest.
"It didn't bother me. I don't get how it can bother
someone,” she said. “But yeah, it doesn't bother me because it's consistent. If
she [Aryna Sabalenka] did it extended on certain balls, then I would be like,
'Okay, it's ridiculous.' No, I think that's just her. It's fine. There have
been other grunters in the past. It doesn't bother me.
"I mean, I played her a lot, so I can't sit here and
say that the grunt is distracting. I don't even know, it's like the fifth time
we have played. No, I don't think so. I don't notice, you know, when -- I feel
like at least with her it's consistent, so it doesn't bother me.”

- 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".
