Cori Gauff is having a rather interesting week in Charleston. The American sensation reached the third round in South Carolina, where she will face Lauren Davis.
However, she had a rather peculiar experience a few nights before. The 17 years old remained stuck in an elevator for 45 minutes. Nevertheless, Coco was not scared at all. She even recorded a video of her dancing in the elevator, fortunately giving no signs of struggling with claustrophobia.
