There was a major disagreement ahead of the midterm elections in the US between Reilly Opelka and Coco Gauff

Opelka And Coco Gauff

Reilly Opelka and Cori Gauff seem to disagree completely on the opportunity of urging their fans to go and vote ahead of the midterm elections in the US. Coco Gauff asked her fans to vote. A few minutes later, Reilly Opelka seemed to have shaded Coco tweeting: “Imagine telling people to go vote [and a laughing face]”

Later, during a heated discussion on Twitter he added: “Politics and ideology don’t exist in tennis.. or at least they didn’t when I fell in love with the game.”

Mane Twitter users disagreed with that.
