Cori Gauff had a rather animated 2nd round match in Dubai on Tuesday when she defeated Marketa Vondrousova 3-6 6-0 6-4 to set up a clash against Tereza Martincova. During the match against Marketa, the 16-year-old had a couple of interesting moments.
The world no.40 complained after Marketa failed a ball toss, and she got the ball with her racket. Later Coco blasted a ball at Vondrousova when both were at the net and the Czech didn’t receive the apology from the teenager. Later it was the Czech to win a point after hitting the net without apologizing. Then Coco started to shout strong and loud some “c’mons” after Vondrousova hit unforced errors.
After the match, Coco commented:
“My personality, I fight fire with fire. I lost those two points that game, and she had wild screams, and I like to scream, so I screamed back.”
The way Gauff behaves it won't be surprising against anyone. Most annoying player on tour.

Gauff has to be careful, because the constant "CMONNNNNNs" after opponents' easy UEs are already getting players' nerves.
Can be motivating.
Vondrousova not exactly a hothead type, is she?(Probably a copyright violation on that video – but that's Amazon's prob) https://t.co/5IV1thoviC
