PARIS: The rights and wrongs of tennis players being obliged to offer their innermost thoughts to the world's media after matches has come under scrutiny at the French Open, but 17-year-old Coco Gauff manages the task with consummate ease.
But it is not just on court that Gauff has all the right answers - her open and honest nature allows her to handle the inevitable spotlight like a seasoned professional. "I don't really care if you guys talk about my age or not. I'm 17. That's the truth," Gauff told a post-match press conference."I promise you my opponents don't care about how old I am. They want to beat me just as bad regardless of my age, and I want to beat them just as bad regardless of their age.Gauff is three victories from the major title many have predicted since she reached the fourth round of Wimbledon, aged 15.
"I think she has improved tremendously, figured out the weaknesses in her game, the forehand, putting more top-spin. The serve was erratic but she has ironed that out."
