Coco Gauff was one of the favorites to win the WTA 1000 event in Cincinnati, but the young American had to retire in her opening match.
After a successful doubles performance in Toronto, Coco Gauff began her first week as the world's top doubles player on Monday. She was hoping to do well in the Cincinnati Masters in 2022, but that didn't happen.
A twisted ankle stopped her from advancing to the second round of the tournament. After retiring from the match, the 18-years-old American posted an update to her fans on the social media, stating:
"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 lol!"
"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."
