Cori Gauff is having a good run in Charleston after defeating Liudmila Samsonova in three sets. However, the night before Coco had the real scare when she was stuck in an elevator. According to the 17 years old she was in the elevator for 45 minutes before being rescued by the firefighters at midnight.
Coco decided to make the most out of that time recording a video while dancing in the cramped space.
Coco posted this message on Twitter: “I got stuck in the elevator last night for 45 mins. shoutout to the firefighters who came at 12:00 am to get me out.”
What else?
