Coco Gauff finner stöd under emotionella utmaningar inför finalen i Italian Open

Coco Gauff har nått finalen i Italian Open trots en utmanande väg präglad av synlig frustration på banan. Före detta världsettan Tracy Austin har uttryckt sitt stöd offentligt och betonat att spelare är människor, inte robotar.

Gauff avancerade till finalen efter en rad vändningar i Rom. Hon besegrade Tereza Valentova med 6-3, 6-4 i första omgången och därefter Solana Sierra med 5-7, 6-0, 6-4. Under den senare matchen slog 22-åringen sig själv i huvudet två gånger med racketen och beskrev efteråt att hon befann sig i ett "konstigt" mentalt tillstånd.
