COCO GAUFF GETS HER FIRST CAREER WIN OVER NO. 1 IGA SWIATEK 👏 Look at what it means‼️ (via @WTA)
"In this case, knock me down 7 times, get up 8": Gauff hilariously quotes Cardi B after finally getting win over Swiatek at Cincinnati Open

America’s tennis star Coco Gauff quoted a song from Cardi B
after securing her maiden win against the world number one Iga Swiatek.
The duo clashed in the ongoing Cincinnati Open (Western
& Southern Open) semifinal on Saturday where Gauff came out on top with a
score of 6-7, 3-6, 6-4.
In the previous seven meetings, the Polish tennis star came out on top on each occasion, and that too in straight sets,
winning 14 sets in the process.
Gauff, after the victory, expressed her happiness while quoting
a song from Cardi B by stating: “I saw a quote. ‘Knock me down 9 times, get up
10.’ It’s a Cardi B song. So in this case, knock me down 7 times, get up 8.”
The victory sets up Gauff’s final encounter of the
competition against Czech Republic’s Karolina Muchova which will be played on
Sunday.
The defeat will be a hard pill to swallow for Swiatek who
would be hoping to continue the winning run leading up to the US Open where she
will be defending her crown.
The 22-year-old won the fourth and final Grand Slam of the
year in 2022 after defeating Tunisia’s Ons Jabeur in the final with a score of
6-2, 7-6.

- That's nice. But it doesn't make up for her nasty mouth to other opponents. Not to mention brushing an on-the-line ball mark away with her foot before the ump could see it.

- My money is simply on fatigue. She's not the compact 'muscle-man'-type like perhaps Sabalenka, Swiatek or Sakkari. She's a player desperately longing for some kind of Djokovic rhythm. She should skip lots to win more majors. And the rumour I thought wasn't it Long Covid?MrAndreeva10-05-2024
