Rising tennis star
Coco Gauff is currently on a break ahead of the
US Open, following her third-round exit from the Wimbledon Championships earlier this month.
Besides her tennis prowess, the American is also a star on the popular social media platform TikTok, amassing more than seven million followers already. She regularly posts videos on the site and also has interactions with fans, although not everyone on the platform is her well-wisher.
One fan recently tried to insult the 18-year-old by saying that her matches take place in empty stadiums.
“That’s cap nobody goes to your games,” the fan said.
Instead of getting riled up, the World No.11 used her wit to reply, along with a bunch of pictures of her playing in packed arenas across the world.
“Ok whatever you say bro,” Gauff replied.
Gauff recently took part in two exhibition matches during the 2022
Atlanta Open at the Atlantic Station. She first locked horns with Taylor Townsend and emerged victorious with a 6-3 6-3 scoreline. The American teen also played Sofia Kenin, winning that contest 6-1 6-2 in front of a sold-out crowd.
The French Open runner-up will return to competitive action at the
Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose in the first week of August, where she is currently the seventh seed.
