The American third seed went behind a wall near the match call area inside the venue, where a camera caught her hitting the racket repeatedly against the floor.<\/p>\n
\u201cI \u200dtried to go \u2060somewhere where there were no cameras,\u201d the 21-year-old told reporters.<\/p>\n
\u201cI kind of have a thing with the broadcast. I feel like certain moments \u2013 the same thing happened to Aryna [Sabalenka] after I played her in the final of the US Open \u2013 I feel like they don\u2019t need to broadcast.\u201d<\/p>\n
World number one Sabalenka, who will take on Svitolina in the semifinals, had smashed her racket in a training area after \u200blosing to Gauff in the 2023 US Open final, and video \u200cof the incident was also made public.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tried to go somewhere where they wouldn\u2019t broadcast it, but obviously they did. Maybe some conversations can be had, because I feel like at this tournament the only private \u200cplace we have is the locker room,\u201d Gauff added.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think for me, I know myself, and I don\u2019t want to lash out \u200con my team. They\u2019re good people. They don\u2019t deserve \u2060that, and I know I\u2019m emotional,\u201d Gauff said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just took the minute to go and do that. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a bad thing. Like I said, I don\u2019t try to do it on court in front of \u200ckids and things like that, but I do know I need to let out that emotion.<\/p>\n
\u201cOtherwise, I\u2019m just going to be snappy with the people around me, and I don\u2019t want \u200dto do that, because like I said, they don\u2019t deserve it. They did their best. I did mine. Just need to let the frustration out.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Coco Gauff, who lost to Elina Svitolina in the quarterfinals of the Australian Open, was filmed smashing her…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":725437,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4105],"tags":[11410,186,12,93,79,1068,16,15,49,286],"class_list":{"0":"post-725436","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-tennis","8":"tag-asia-pacific","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-news","11":"tag-sport","12":"tag-sports","13":"tag-tennis","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom","16":"tag-united-states","17":"tag-us-canada"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115970393257867211","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725436","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=725436"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/725436\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/725437"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=725436"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=725436"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=725436"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
