Coco Gauff hits out at Miami Open after thrashing opponent in round two

Gauff was made to sit around at the venue all day in hope that the rain would stop. And she felt that tournament organisers were giving start times that were unfeasible because of the weather forecast.

“I came as normal schedule, even I knew it was going to rain. Shortened my warm-up before I hit so I could get a chance to hit. I did hit 15 minutes at, like, 9 in the morning. Don’t know if that made a difference because we played so much later,” Gauff said.”Yeah, I was just waiting around, talked to some folks, played some games, read. It felt like a long wait. I was kind of not sure when to eat. Also the tournament was giving us unrealistic ‘not before’ times, so that felt a little bit weird, too.”
