“Ok whatever you say bro” - Coco Gauff shuts down fan who tried to insult her
Rising tennis star Coco Gauff is currently on a break ahead of the US Open, following her third-round exit from the Wimbledon Championships earlier this month.
Besides her tennis prowess, the American is also a star on the popular social media platform TikTok, amassing more than seven million followers already. She regularly posts videos on the site and also has interactions with fans, although not everyone on the platform is her well-wisher
One fan recently tried to insult the 18-year-old by saying that her matches take place in empty stadiums.
“That’s cap nobody goes to your games,” the fan said.
Instead of getting riled up, the World No. 11 used her wit to reply, along with a bunch of pictures of her playing in packed arenas across the world.
“Ok whatever you say bro,” Gauff replied.

Gauff will return to competitive action at the Mubadala Silicon Valley Classic in San Jose in the first week of August, where she is currently the seventh seed.
At the WTA 500 event, she is set to compete alongside the likes of Naomi Osaka, Paula Badosa, Ons Jabeur and Aryna Sabalenka.
