Coco Gauff is an insufferable brat

[Anonymous]

What do you expect? She plays tennis. It’s like complaining about a golfer being a jerk.

I found Collins the most amusing though- accusing your opponent of being fake while being so “injured” that you couldn’t stick it out for 2 more games, then playing a doubles match a couple hours later? Really? Just be quiet girl.

What hasn't Osaka proven? She won 4 grand slams by her very early twenties. Is taking time off to focus on mental health that bad? Does it make her a whiner on the court?

Including that billionaire daughter Navarro

You are thinking Pegula.

If Coco's actions are bad enough to have a thread started about them, then most certainly a thread about Collins's and Navarro's actions is in order.

DP. No, Navarro's father is also a billionaire.

I agree with the PP who said that the behavior of all three is a terrible look for the US. All three women seem to have used the Olympics to address ongoing grievances from the pro tour, which is a bad look and contrary to the spirit of the Olympics. However, Collins and Navarro weren't medal favorites and don't get nearly the attention that Coco does, so it makes sense that her behavior comes under greater scrutiny. It's also not entirely clear what Collins and Navarro were so upset about; whereas Coco melted down over a call that actually was correct. Go to Youtube, slow the speed down, and you will see 100% that she hit the ball before the call was made. There's no question.

That said, people need to give Coco some grace. She's young, and it's not like she mounted a massive campaign to be the flagbearer (at least to my knowledge). That honor was given to her by fellow athletes and came with tremendous pressure, which helps to explain why her emotions got the best of her. One meltdown (or three or four) doesn't define who she is as a person. She's still evolving.

It's not fair that the ref says it's out, so she stops, then someone else says "whoopsie, nevermind it was in, point to the other player". She wanted to replay the point which I think was totally reasonable. If the ref f***s up, the player shouldn't be the one(s) that suffer.

It does.not.matter.

If you're a pro tennis player, a ref will make a bad call at some point in your entite career. PRO players should be pros because they can keep their mental S together and not let a bad call ruin them mentally.

Sorry, Coco got her butt whooped and lost straight sets. A single bad call makes no one lose a match in straight sets ever. She just drink it up that match, period.

Every amazing pro player argues bad calls with the ref.

Every.single.one

And? That's not the point. Real pros argue but drop it. They don't blame a bad call and racism for losing a match in straight sets. She is mentally fragile and too immature to be the best in the world at the moment. Blaming racism for getting your ass kicked in straight sets is so eye rolling and being a typical American.

Yes actually they do. The NBA hired a firm to see if there was bias in calls and guess what there are. So they review every call, every.single.call.... they analyze every ref's bad call and they determine if the bad calls are race based, best player based, or home team based.... the 3 most common biases. Then they are counselled and corrected for the biases each ref has, if they can't correct their biases they are fired.

You sound mentally fragile, unintelligent and have a general lack of knowledge about how sports work.

How is that possible in the nba ????

I think the white American Karen tennis players are far worse sore losers than Coco

She’s speaking up for herself with confidence and evidence. Opposite of a brat.

Just a point of clarification, both Pegula AND Emma Navarro have billionaire parents. Turns out growing up wealthy is a real advantage in sport and life.

I think we might be close to having AI judges and refs by 2028. If not then, then definitely 2032.

And I mean for all sports, not just olympics.

She is 🗑️

I'm the one who posted that the one poster must have been thinking of Pegula. I had no idea Navarro was also a billionaire's daughter.

I loathe the term Karen but I agree that personal attacks on your opponent’s character are worse that Coco arguing a call. Navarro is also young, but Daniele Collins is a grown ass woman.

Are you daft?

Every game is recorded, they analyze every call and determine if a call was missed or a bad call was made. I’m not going to explain the statistics to you, I don’t think your intelligent enough to understand,

Why are you insulting the poster instead of just answering the question?

And the poster's point is that the NBA is mostly black so your response missed the point.
