Coco Gauff recently shared a candid moment about her decision to delete Twitter from her phone. The rising tennis star admitted that her social media habits were becoming overwhelming, especially with the mix of tennis-related drama and popular TV shows dominating her feed.
Love Island and Tennis Twitter Take Over
Gauff explained that her Twitter timeline had become a whirlwind of distractions. “I had to delete Twitter after last week because I’m too involved with Love Island. And then Tennis Twitter’s coming up, and you know, there’s all this drama from that and Love Island,” she said. The constant updates and commentary were pulling her attention away from her focus as an athlete.
Unexpected Obsession with a Show She Never Watched
In a humorous twist, Gauff revealed that even shows she hadn’t watched were starting to consume her thoughts. “Then for some reason, The Summer I Turned Pretty was coming up, and I’d never watched that, but I was into it even not watching the show! I was like, ‘Ok, I’m getting too addicted.’ So, I have no Twitter on my phone anymore,” she added.
Choosing Focus Over Distraction
By removing Twitter from her phone, Gauff is taking a step toward maintaining clarity and concentration as she navigates her tennis career. Her decision reflects a growing awareness among athletes about the impact of social media on mental focus and emotional well-being.
