Coco Gauff has moved on from her disappointment at the WTA Finals and is already preparing for her upcoming campaign in pre-season. When the American teenager defeated Arnya Sabalenka to win the US Open in New York in September, she achieved the first grand slam of her budding career.
Gauff shared a picture of herself on Instagram at the Barwis Performance Center in Florida, running while wearing an oxygen mask. She captioned: “Pre-season day 1. we back.”
According to a social media user, Gauff may have been using the machine for a Vo2 Max test, which gauges aerobic fitness levels by calculating the amount of oxygen the body can take in while exercising.
