US tennis champion Coco Gauff has voiced her frustrations on the decision to broadcast her 'outburst' following her Australian Open quarter-final loss.
“Showing Coco Gauff smashing her racquet backstage is such an invasion of privacy. She was perfectly respectful to Svitolina after the match and she should be allowed to release her frustrations without cameras. The same applies for all players,” said another.
Iga Swiatek has reacted to the viral video of Coco Gauff smashing her racket after her 2026 Australian Open quarterfinal loss.
The quarterfinal action continues at Melbourne Park with Novak Djokovic, Jannik Sinner, Ben Shelton, Jessica Pegula, and Iga Swiatek all in action.
"I don't try to do it on court in front of kids and things like that, but I do know I need to let out that emotion," she said after Tuesday's loss to Svitolina.
Tennis star Coco Gauff is paying it forward with a $150,000 donation to the United Negro College Fund.
