SSC@ssc_globa1Coco Gauff’s toughest opponent this week wasn’t on the court. The 22-year-old American was eliminated from the China Open today. Elise Mertens beat her 6–3, 6–3. But the match wasn’t the biggest story. After her previous match, Gauff said she received an “insane” amount of racist abuse online. It came after a controversial point involving Chinese teenager Sun Xinran. Gauff said the wave of comments left her mentally and physically drained. Then she walked onto the court today. And struggled. 34 unforced errors. 8 double faults. A 78-minute loss. Gauff didn’t make excuses. She simply said the last few days had been draining. That’s the darker side of being a modern sports star. The match ends when the final point is played. The internet doesn’t. #CocoGauff #Tennis #ChinaOpen #Sports #TennisNews33m
