"Mute the noise and focus on myself": Gauff gives advice to Raducanu after US Open admission

Sometimes I wish I'd never won the US Open was the heartbreaking quote from Emma Raducanu after the media firestorm that has engulfed the Brit since 2021.

Coco Gauff is a similar player in that the American has experienced the highs and lows of tennis from a super young age.

Rising and being compared to Serena and Venus Williams, Gauff has blazed her own trail. She often gets compared to Raducanu due to both being a similar age.

Ahead of Eastbourne next week, she was asked for advice to give to Raducanu.

"I think it’s just your support system and just taking it week-by-week," she told a small group of reporters in Eastbourne as per Express. "And for me, you hear a lot so I think for me the best part is just to mute the noise and focus on myself and don’t focus on what other people are saying."
