Serena Williams’ coach calls out WTA Tour for not making statement to defend Coco Gauff, ‘I am going to get in trouble’

During Gauff's 7-5, 6-1 win over Xinran Sun , the American called for a video review, claiming she was distracted by the flashing LED screens at the side of the court. The umpire ordered Gauff and Sun to replay the point, which Gauff won. Sun had been competitive until then, but momentum swung in Gauff's favour, and she defeated her 16-year-old opponent in straight sets. After the match, fans flooded Gauff's social media pages, attacking her for the incident. Gauff was racially abused by many, but the WTA Tour didn't speak out to defend her.
