Coco Gauff played all her matches on the Rod Laver Arena and she joked about it being due to Nadal's exit from the event.
Since she first became a well-known player as a teenager, Coco Gauff has been on the verge of becoming a superstar. She played all of her matches at the Australian Open this year in the Rod Laver Arena, demonstrating how her fame enables her to compete in the largest arenas in the world.
I definitely do thrive off the energy. Honestly, truly shocked I've been on Laver like all my matches. One of the players asked what time I was playing. I was third. They were like, What court? I was like, Laver. He was like, Of course, they wouldn't put you anywhere else.
She understands why it happens though and her response to being asked about it left many reporters in stitches. She blamed it on Nadal exiting the event early freeing up a spot.
I'm like, I don't know, maybe because Rafael Nadal is out they need somebody else (laughter). I don't know. I feel weird saying that.
