Coco Gauff's quarterfinal exit at the 2026 Australian Open turned controversial when footage of her smashing her racket went viral. Tennis legend Serena Williams offered encouragement, while several players raised concerns about privacy in player areas. The incident highlighted the emotional pressures faced by athletes.
Responding to the player privacy debate ignited by Coco Gauff's Australian Open outburst, French Open director Amélie Mauresmo has banned camera access to private player zones—the first Grand Slam to do so. The policy was confirmed at a pre-tournament press conference, alongside a 9.53% prize money increase to $72.8 million.
