"I gotta grow up more" - Gauff reveals off-court struggles

Coco Gauff was all business in her opening win at the Miami Open presented by Itau but off the court she has more issues than on the court.

Between trying to schedule a time to get her driver’s license and realizing that she now has to make her own doctor’s appointments, it’s all been a bit of a wake up call for the No. 14-seeded American. Speaking after the match she said:

“I guess the biggest thing I'm scared of doing is making my own doctor's appointments for once. I'm like telling my mom, I don't know what to do. And she's just leaving me on a limb! Like when I got my [COVID-19] booster shot. She just dropped me off and I was like, Oh my gosh. I don’t even know what insurance I have or anything! So yeah, I gotta grow up more.”

Asked about getting an new car, Gauff said:

“I have my permit. I was trying to get my license on Monday, but I had to come here. Now I'm trying to get it before I leave for Europe. I need my license because I just want to drive to Chick-fil-A every day!”
