Tennis fans expressed their disappointment with Coco Gauff following her statements about WTA Finals qualification after her loss to Linda Noskova.

The American tennis player commenced her WTA Finals run with a win over her compatriot Jessica Pegula 6-4, 6-7 (5), 6-2 on Sunday. Later, she faced Wimbledon champion Linda Noskova, who bested her 6-3, 6-3. Following the defeat, Gauff’s advancement to the semifinal round is uncertain. Her qualification now depends on the outcome of her face-off against Marta Kostyuk and on Pegula’s clash with Noskova. Gauff’s progress to the next round will be certain if she wins more sets than Pegula.

So far, Gauff has won two sets while Pegula leads with three. Frustrated with the rules, the two-time Grand Slam champion demanded a change in the format.

“The scenarios, I know they make sense, but they’re kinda stupid. I mean I know it’s like the point thing and all the sets and all of that but it’s like I’m just trying to win the match. If I win my match [Thursday] and tomorrow if I still don’t qualify, or whenever I play, I’m like, ‘It’s okay, it’s cool.’ I’m looking forward to next year. I can’t say much, but everybody knows that has to change.” (via Christian Court’s X)

Gauff’s statements did not sit well with the fans, who thought the American was wrong to dismiss a format that is very rare in the tennis world.

“Sorry Coco, but that reaction is not it. It’s actually really fair and simply about performance.”

“Babes this is not a good look, you sound like a sourpuss here cause in any other scenario (like the one you’re pushing for) you would’ve been out of the tournament already. At least in RR you still have a chance, what are you doing?”

Coco Gauff makes her feelings known about hot mic controversy at the WTA Finals involving her, Mirra Andreeva and Jessica Pegula

Coco Gauff recently reacted to the hot mic controversy involving Mirra Andreeva and Jessica Pegula. During a practice session in Indian Wells, Pegula was heard making statements about Gauff and Andreeva, saying the French Open champion is a better player and could surpass the two-time Grand Slam champion if she had the same mentality. During her run at the tournament, Gauff was asked to comment on the incident.

“Jess, she told me, before I even saw the video, she came and apologized immediately,” Gauff told reporters. “Honestly, I didn’t really take it. I feel like maybe the other person in the situation got a lot more of it. But she, you know, they both, even her coach, apologized to me. So yeah, I think for me, I’m a competitor, so I’m always going to compete regardless of what’s happening off the court. But yeah, I know her heart, and it was all good. I don’t feel any type of way.”
