Coco Gauff ended her campaign in Cincinnati in the worst possible way after she retired during her first-round match against Marie Bouzkova. Coco rolled her ankle, and it was not clear the entity of the injury.
The big question mark was if Gauff would be fit to play the upcoming US Open that will be staged in a couple of weeks. The American sensation posted an encouraging statement on social media, saying she is optimistic about her recovery because she had only a minor sprain.
This was her message:
“Hi everyone! I just wanted to give an update since I have gotten tons of really nice messages of concern. I promise I am ok! The world is not ending loi! I have been told it is most likely a really minor sprain so everything should be healed very soon, thank you to everyone for reaching out and I’ll see you soon <333”
