"Treating the stadium like my house": Gauff jokes that she would sleep and live at Miami Open if she could after receiving superb hospitality

American tennis phenom Coco Gauff kicked off her 2023 Miami Open campaign with an easy victory over Canada's Rebecca Marino on Thursday.
Following her victory, the 19-year old spoke about the hospitality she had received at the Hard Rock Stadium, where most players practice in-between matches.
"I love it so much because you feel really relaxed here, specially having my brothers here. My brothers are playing spike ball and soccer. We even got lucky, they gave us a suite here so we took the Xbox up to the suite," she said.
The French Open runner-up even joked about living and sleeping at the stadium, should the organizers allow it.
"So I'm really just treating the stadium like my house to be honest. I took a nap before my match. I mean if they let me I would just sleep here," she said. "I love this site so much. I only went to Crandon as a fan, never as a player, but I gotta say it doesn't get any better than here at Hard Rock Stadium."

- 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".
